Learn about becoming a literacy tutor

The Literacy Connection will hold a free orientation session from 7 to 8:30 p.m. today at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 401 W. Main St. in West Dundee. Training workshops will follow from 6 to 8:45 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, Oct. 9-25 at the same location. Once trained, tutors are matched with a student for tutoring an hour or two a week, at a time and place of their choice.

Volunteers are needed to tutor in both Basic Reading and English as a Second Language. No special education is required. You do not have to know a foreign language. If you can read, write and converse in English, a Literacy Connection student needs you. For information, call (847) 742-6565, e-mail info@elginliteracy.org, visit www.elginliteracy.org or come to the orientation.
