The Brazos Valley Literacy Coalition (BVLC) really needs ESL volunteers this semester!
The way the ESL program works is like this:
Students are assessed and then leveled into one of two groups, beginning and intermediate. (Pending student enrollment, we might add an advanced class with conversation only).
You can join any teaching team or student level that you feel comfortable with. You do not need to speak a foreign language.
Each student group is assigned a team of 2 or more teachers. This works well because if one of the teachers in the group cannot be there, the class can still go on with the other teachers.
BVLC provides all the materials you need. Training will be available online.
Classes began in January and will run to the beginning of May We always end with a friendly potluck picnic. ESL classes are from 9:45-11:45 am every Saturday except for Spring Break weekends and Easter weekend.
Thanks so much for being willing to help with the adult literacy program!
The students will be so grateful.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Brazos Valley Literacy Coalition (BVLC) is four-fold: To help functionally illiterate adults learn to read. To help adults learn English so that they can understand medical professionals, talk with their child’s teacher, and keep safe in the workplace. To support parents of school-aged children so that their children can advance in reading achievement. To train caregivers and parents of young children (ages 0-5) in research-based methods that foster early literacy skills.
Description
THE TRAGEDY OF ILLITERACY: In Texas 1 in 5 adults cannot read well enough to read a newspaper, read prescription directions, or apply for a job. This affects their children, the local workforce, and their general quality of life. Brazos Valley Literacy Coalition provides free ESL classes with trained volunteer teachers and also helps adults who are illiterate learn to read by pairing them with trained mentors.
