Los Angeles Public Library :: It's a Match - Adult Literacy
It’s a
Match
READ-A
Newsletter written by students and tutors: Summer 2017
My
name is Carmen Munoz, I am a tutor with LAPL’s Adult
Literacy Program.
I’ve
been with my student Maria Murillo since February 12, 2016. Maria approached me
at a Senior Center in East Los Angeles. She told me about her desire to read
English before she died. With much surprise I found that Maria at 87 years old
did not know how to read or write; and was never able to attend school. She
lived in Mexico with her mother. She helped care for her younger siblings and
was never given opportunity to attend school.
Maria
is currently reading Laubach Volume 3. Maria struggled with reading but she
never gave up. In the following weeks I recognized Maria was not only able to
read the words but also understand and explain what she had just read. Maria
told me “the books talk to me!” Puzzled by her comment, I realized that was her
way of telling me she could read.
Maria’s
goal is to be able to read and write with no difficulty. She also stated she
would like to attend college in the near future. I believe this goal was
brought by the Helen Keller story, she identified her handicap and Helen’s at
about the same capacity in her eyes.
Just
like Maria anyone can achieve their goals. Age or disability does not determine
how far you learn, grow, and achieve any dreams or goals in one’s life. READ MORE @

New Staff at the Bob Lucas Memorial Branch Library and Literacy
Center
Altadena
Library:
August 2017
Diana
Wong is the new Branch Manager & Literacy Services Librarian. She has over 9
years of experience working in academic libraries and just recently completed
her MLIS
from San Jose State University. Her literacy experience stems from her two-year
tour with the Peace Corps, where she spent time teaching English to high school
kids in
a rural village in Cambodia.
Funded
in part by a grant from the California State
Library, the Adult Literacy Services program, "Let's Read
Altadena," of the Altadena Library District has been serving the residents
of Altadena since 1988. Instruction is provided by volunteer tutors who have
completed as self-paced, online tutor training course. Literacy is currently
housed at the Bob Lucas Memorial Branch Library and Literacy Center
One-on-one
tutoring: Learners are matched with a tutor for regularly scheduled study
sessions.
Classes
to improve English reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Classes are held
Mondays thru Thursdays mornings at the Bob Lucas Branch.
There
is no fee for tutoring or for ESL classes. Speakers of other languages may
receive tutoring once they have mastered basic spoken English or may join our
ESL class for beginners. To be eligible for tutoring, the participant must be
able to complete the intake form by him or herself in English.
Tutors
work in the Adult Literacy Program empowering adult learners by teaching basic
reading, writing and functional literacy skills. After completing a self-paced,
online training module and being matched with a learner, tutors and learners
meet 1 to 2 hours per meeting at least once a week at the library or other
location based on their own schedules. The Library requires a minimum
commitment of six months. To learn more about this rewarding experience, please
contact the Bob Lucas Branch Library.
If
you are interested in receiving tutoring or becoming a tutor, please call the
Bob Lucas Branch Library at (626) 798-8338 ext. 102 or send an e-mail.
