READ
Adult Literacy Program
 |
The READ
program is still active, we are regrouping and adapting.
Tutoring partners are not meeting in person at this
time. Many tutors are meeting with their adult students via telephone and
conferencing programs. Tutors still have access to all the familiar
materials and they are delivered to your local library to be picked up with
your ‘hold’ books during walk-up pick-up.
In addition, office staff are working remotely assembling
a selection of new digital materials for learners at every level.
A new series of Tutor Training classes will be scheduled on ZOOM later this fall.
Interested volunteers are encouraged to call the READ
office at 805-677-7159 and leave a message.
READ Adult Literacy
 |
➤ The READ Program trains volunteers to provide free
one-to-one reading and writing instruction.
➤ The Ventura County Library has been offering this program
since 1984.
➤ Our administrative costs are included in the Ventura County
Library's budget.
➤ Additional funding comes from partnerships with other
agencies, state grants and donations from businesses and service organizations.
Tutoring Sites
These sites are managed by part-time professional educators, referred to as site supervisors.
Site supervisors are available during specified times to assess learner's reading levels, interview tutors, match students with tutors, recommend teaching materials and provide support for learning partners.
