Autumn 2019 Newsletter
Throughout
the 2019 summer we held many classes and workshops, including a June 5 Grammar
Sleuth class, which broke down and built back up sentences with diagramming
exercises, and most recently a "Writing Workshop" to teach tutors how
to help their learners to love to write. We also have ongoing Citizenship
Classes at both tutoring sites (Oak
View and Central libraries).
On
October 12, 2019, Literacy Volunteers partnered with Dyslexia Voice, for their
"Dyslexia Awareness and Education Event". An estimated 70 to 80% of people with poor
reading skills are likely dyslexic; and 5 to 15% of children and adults in the
U.S. have dyslexia, so teaming with Dyslexia Voice was a natural fit. There was
a tremendous line-up of speakers in the theater, an area for exhibitors, a
breakout area for light snacks and drinks, and a crafts room for children. So
much information was shared, so many voices spoke for this important cause, and
all who attended made the day a success.
