Ventura County Library Adult Literacy READ Program is now recruiting adult volunteer tutors who would like to help other adults improve their reading and writing skills. No teaching experience is required and the training is free. The next five-week tutor training series in Ventura will be starting soon. Call (805) 677-7160.
The READ program trains adult volunteers to provide free one-to-one reading instruction for adults in need of basic literacy skills. Instruction in basic literacy includes the development of phonetic reading skills combined with communication skills. After completion of the five-week training, tutors will meet with their adult learners at the Hill Road Library in Ventura. Tutoring is scheduled by the availability of the tutors and the learners. Illiteracy is an issue that can be debilitating in so many ways for adults who never received the proper instruction.
