LEARN TO READ AND GROW

Notas do Editor

  1. statistics show that immigrants who learn to read and write earn 20% more than immigrants that do not.
  2. But when millions lack the ability to read or write, they are unable to attain the self-sufficiency they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Microloan resources that could help them start businesses require basic math, reading, and writing skills to keep records and grow their businesses
  3. 18+ our youngest learner is 19 our oldest is 73, when you learn to write in English or read, not everything keeps pace. so just because you can read at one level doesn’t mean you can write or spell at that same level.
  4. Must speak English, doesn’t have to be great, but you and the tutor need to be able to communicate
  5. the council provides each learner with a tutor who will work towards your goal.
  6. meet for at least 1 hour a week with tutor. can meet
  7. you and your tutor decide what day and time works the best for your schedule. Maybe it is Monday’s at 2:00 or Fridays
  8. tutoring takes place at public places like libraries, school, mc donalds etc.
  9. we do not charge for our services – no cost to learner
  10. at no cost to learner. We provide the books

  12. some of the things are learners can now do that they couldn’t before are:voteus citizensdrivers license
  13. can you spell, do you know the alphabet? Need to find out what you do and don’t know.
  14. In order to figure out what type of materials you need we must assess or test you to see what areas you are strong in and what areas you need help with. We look at what level of reader you are, what you can spell, how well you can write and can you sound out words. We try to help with reading, writing, spelling and working towards new life skills.
  15. Assessment is a big word for test or a way for the council to see what your strengths are and where you need help.
  16. this is a little harder
  17. next step up
  18. next step up
  19. farther yet
  20. not bad, but still needs work.
  21. why do some people leave or do not come to see us? What can get in the way of learning or your education?
  22. last year our learners accomplished
