Literacy @ Project Adult Literacy (PALS)

This program is for adults who want to improve reading and writing skills to use printed information in everyday living. At P.A.L.S. Literacy students work one to one with a volunteer tutor to improve their comprehension and fluency when reading and writing. They attend a 2 hour class once a week and are expected to go home and do 2 hours of homework in the week and 30 to 60 minutes of reading per day. The tutor guides the student through the process and is available to help when they encounter a difficulty, while also serving as motivators and encourage a student to keep going.
