Redlands Library :: How to volunteer with Redlands Adult Literacy Program

How to volunteer with Redlands Adult Literacy Program

Redlands Daily Facts: 8.27.2016 by Diane Shimota, adult literacy coordinator at the A.K. Smiley Public Library in Redlands.

Do you have a passion for reading or writing? Would you like to help someone learn to read?

The Redlands Adult Literacy Program provides an opportunity for you to pursue your passion with a purpose by becoming an adult literacy tutor. Volunteer tutors are the foundation of the Adult Literacy Program because they donate their time to support learners in their quest for reading and writing competency.

Let me introduce you to a few of these wonderful volunteers.

Martha Kennedy, a retired teacher from Redlands High School, has tutored with the Redlands Adult Literacy Program for five years. Kennedy, with Sharon Regalado, leads the off-site adult literacy program at Lugonia Elementary School where six tutors meet one-on-one with their adult learners each week.

Rebecca McCurdy, who formerly worked for a private company, has been a tutor with the Redlands Adult Literacy Program for more than three years. READ MORE @

Riverside County Library :: To Increase Literacy Among Nonliterate Latino Adults

Riverside County Library System to Increase Literacy Among Nonliterate Latino Adults

Riverside County Library Press Release: 3.08.2016

The Literacy Headquarters, located at the Louis Robidoux Library, has been selected as one of five libraries across California to pilot LeamosTM (Let’s Read) @ the Library. Centro Latino for Literacy (Centro Latino), a nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles, launched the project to bring its online literacy course to the state’s non-literate Spanish speakers, which number 573,866 (2009-2011 ACS, PERE pooled file). The two-year pilot project is supported by a grant awarded by the James Irvine Foundation to Centro Latino to explore partnerships with public libraries. Greg Lucas, California State Librarian said, “In a state which in 2014 gained a Latino plurality, it seems at a minimum good common sense to encourage programs like Leamos™. Without literacy skills in their native language, proficiency in English becomes significantly harder, if not impossible to attain.”

Public libraries will incorporate the use of Leamos™ as an effective strategy to both promote reading at its most basic level and to effectively outreach to Spanish-speakers in their communities. “Public libraries are a natural ally in fulfilling our mission of creating innovative solutions that transform lives through literacy. Leamos™ @ the Library is the portal for nonliterate Spanish speakers to close both the basic and digital literacy gaps and to increase civic engagement,” stated Mari Riddle, Centro Latino President and CEO. “Learning to read and write is ground zero. Many students have described learning to read and write as being able to see after a lifetime of being blind – ‘Ya tengo ojos (Now I have eyes)’”. READ MORE @
