Covina Library - Second Start Literacy Program

Second Start Literacy Program

The Literacy Program now offers a free English as a Second Language Program (ESL) Funding Sources: WIA Title II Grant (Workforce Investment Act)

Join the Covina Public Library’s Free English as a Second Language Program. The program helps learners achieve proficiency in English and related skills needed for daily life and employment situations. All students are tutored in one-on-one settings and get individualized reading instruction twice per week. The program starts at the beginning level for those who neither read nor write English and progress to the final level before learners can be mainstreamed into all English instruction. For more information, call the Literacy Division at (626) 384-5280.

Are You Interested in Becoming a Volunteer Literacy Tutor?
- All volunteers are carefully screened and receive the proper training in order to become excellent tutors.
- Volunteers work one-on-one with either an adult or a child.
- Commitment: two hours per week (tutors can arrange to meet with their students one hour twice per week, or schedule two sessions consecutively)
