The Literacy Council is home to many "out of the
ordinary' individuals. As time has passed by some
students and tutors have shared inspiring tid bits about
themselves. Listen and be inspired.
Did you know: One tutor
has 17 exotic birds living with her?
Some talk, some squawk, some perch and some will
actually give her a kiss.... and all are beautifully
outfitted in vibrant feather coats.
Did you know: Eight seasoned students
over the age of 65 are learning to be fluent
readers? They argue that their tutor is the best
of the best!
Did you know: One student, whose only
transportation was a bicycle, now has a driver's
license? His first car is a well-loved jalopy... but it
runs. He will tell you that great things happen
when you learn how to read.
Did you know: One student has had 5 of
his stories published in a writer's contest? We
can lend you the two books that feature his stories and
poems.
Did you know: Fourteen
tutors have been with the Literacy Council for over 7
years?
Did you know: 20% of
Literacy Council tutors also volunteer for other
not-for-profit agencies and charities?
Did you know: the fee for
getting tutored at the Literacy Council is merely the
student's commitment to begin? Tutoring services are
free.
