Centers for Reading and Writing > For Students

Expectations for Students

Students who come to the Centers are adults over 16, who are out of school and would like to improve their reading and writing.

Students can join a tutoring group of three to six students. The groups meet twice a week, are led by volunteer tutors, and supported by professional staff.

Adult learners can also come to the Centers to borrow easy-to-read books and make appointments to use computers, videos or other materials.

Reading Level: 0 - 5.9

• Attend all tutoring sessions
• Telephone the center if unable to attend a session.
• Realize that homework (home practice) will be helpful.
