The single greatest indicator of a child's academic success is the education of his or her parents. Yet many children have less of a chance to succeed, right from the start. That’s because their parents can’t read. Or write. In Essex County, 28-percent of all adults are considered functionally illiterate: They can't read to their children, help with homework, write a note to or read a note from a child's teacher.
At Literacy Volunteers of America, Essex & Passaic Counties, we teach basic literacy and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to adults. Why not share your gift of literacy? Help an adult learn to read and write. Attend an 18-hour training program to become a Literacy Volunteers of America tutor. Bloomfield Public Library, 90 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07007. Sessions held Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:00-4:00 pm, Oct. 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, 21, 2014. Must attend all six sessions. Please help us fight illiteracy. Earn a certificate and a reference! Call 973-566-6200, ext. 217 to register, or email lvaessex @verizon.net More info: www.lvanewark.org/
