Literacy Volunteers of Kanawha County will host a free literacy tutor training session for interested individuals at the end of this month.
The training session will be conducted from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 30, at First Presbyterian Church, 16 Leon Sullivan Way in downtown Charleston.
Potential tutors must be 18 years old or older to participate. In order to work with children in the tutoring program, they will need to undergo a background clearance check, which LVKC members will help them obtain.
“Training will focus on the four components of reading: word identification, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency,” said session leader Anita Cohen last week. “The strategies that we will practice can be adapted for teaching both adults and children to become stronger readers.”
