individuals remain safe and protected.
Please get festive with us at our Holiday

Joy Decks Out Her
Car Take a Look!!
As the Tutor and Student Liaison for the Literacy
Council, Joy Brown is out and about in the community
weekly. Joy motors between the two counties
attending first time meetings between newly matched
tutors and students. Joy also provides
presentations for community groups who want to learn
more about our agency. We had a brain storm of an
idea. Why not get more from the miles Joy travels
in Clermont and Brown Counties? Two magnetic signs
now adorn the car doors of Joy's vehicle. She
claims she has been an instant hit. "I cannot
believe the people who turn their heads to see or read
those signs." It is our hope that this method of
advertising will let more people know that there is help
for those who are struggling with reading. If you
are traveling down the road and spot the "Joy Mobile"
give her a honk and a wave!!! Guess what Susan
wants for Christmas?

Tools
for Tutors
"Reflect on the spirit of
gratitude: Ask your student to name 3 to 5 things
for which they are grateful. Have the student
write or assist the student in writing each thought on
separate index cards. Tutor, you do the
same. When completed, mix up the cards - tutor and
student take turns reading from the cards to one
another."
Idea created by a Literacy Council
Tutor.
