X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 26 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Status: OR Hi, I have subscribed to this list serve for the past six months or so because we have been planning to add Family Literacy to our program. We already do a lot with children's literacy and I thought that adding the parent component would really help. Well, several people have heard that we're doing this and all of a sudden I have three adults who've signed up to learn to read! While this is wonderful and I'm so thrilled that they've come forward, I don't know what to do with them! I know a lot about teaching children to read, but very little about adult literacy. I'm sure there's no easy solution, but does anyone have any suggestions of someone I might turn to for help? There's not a LVA site in my area, and there are only a couple of other adult literacy programs. Both of which are volunteer driven and these new people really want to be somewhere where they know they'll have the same tutor for a long period of time. I can offer that, but I need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Are there any programs that I could look into purchasing? Any suggestions of something that works really well? Is it too juvenile to use some of our children's literacy materials/activities? By the way, we are located in Las Vegas, NV and of course, money is an issue! Thanks in advance...Please feel free to email me directly with any suggestions... Amber Jacobo AmeriCorps Director jacobo20@aol.com
