ReadingWorks, the adult literacy program for Stanislaus County, provides training for volunteers 16 years and older who would like to become a reading tutor for an adult. The orientation and training session costs $10 to cover the expense of materials.. Please attach your check with this form and mail to the address in the lower left hand corner. If, for any reason, you cannot afford the cost of the training, please attach a note asking for the cost to be waived.
The training will give new tutors the knowledge needed to teach effectively, including: the special dynamics of an adult learner, the differences in how people learn, the use of the Laubach phonics-based system of teaching reading, plus other literacy materials. All tutors receive ongoing staff support and there is no further cost for materials.
