WHAT WE DO

WHAT WE DO

ASSESSMENT

When a new student comes to the Adult Literacy League with an interest in improving their education, it’s important to get an accurate picture of their starting point. This interview process determines the best curricula and classes for each student.

CLASSES

We provide virtual drop-in classes for English conversation and English language literacy (ESOL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), citizenship, job skills and more. These classes are hosted via Zoom and available to all registered Adult Literacy League students.

TUTORING

Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with students using nationally-accredited curricula to teach reading, writing, and English literacy skills. All students are eligible for tutoring and we encourage students to attend both classes and tutoring sessions.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERACY


We define full functional literacy as the ability to read, write, communicate in English, compute, solve problems and use technology in order to be a self-sufficient member of our community.

Every individual who becomes fully literate by this definition increases the economic strength, overall safety, and the future educational success of the next generation.

Few program outcomes have the impact force of hundreds of new literate citizens in our community. This comprehensive instructional strategy yields impressive dividends – particularly considering that we are serving adults at the lowest levels of literacy and in the greatest need, both economically and educationally.

OUR PROGRAM OFFERS

FLEXIBILITY

A number of classes for each topic are offered, so students can fit us into their real-life schedules

A “drop-in” schedule, so there are no penalties for missing class. Tutors and students set their own meeting times, to find the time best for both of them

PERSONAL ATTENTION

One-to-one tutoring helps students who struggle in a classroom setting or have – as many of our students do – some type of learning difference

Small-group, instructor-led classes allow students to freely ask questions and receive immediate feedback

Personalized intake system that focuses on students’ goals to create an individualized educational plan

DIVERSE TOPICS

Students can attend any or all classes that we offer to cover a wide variety of subject matter

We have a multi-level approach, so a single-topic class is able to span more than one level of reading ability

Our tutors are able to exchange the level of curricula at any point they believe their student has progressed, so our students can advance at their own pace

Our tutors and class instructors address different learning styles to encompass and challenge all students
