Literacy Volunteers of Washington County is in need of basic reading and math tutors.  If you have a couple of hours mornings, afternoons, or evenings and would be willing to help adult learners improve their math or reading skills, please call Linda Marinaccio at 638-6317. 

Many students enrolled at the Washington-Holmes Technical Center, and LVWC sites in Caryville, Country Oaks and Vernon need one-on-one tutoring in order to raise their math and reading scores and pass the G.E.D. test.  Some learners come from local schools for help with homework.  Some have no basic computer instruction. 

Linda A. Marinaccio, LVWC director, presents board member Pat Patton (left) with a “Making the Difference” award for her unending volunteer support for the organization.

A Laubach Tutor Training class will be provided on May 15 and 16 at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, 736 West Blvd. in Chipley, from 9 a.m. to 4.  Glenda Norvelle of Panhandle Adult Literacy Center will be conducting the training and will be teaching techniques on reading strategies to work one-on-one with the adult learner.  A couple hours a week could greatly benefit an adult learner enrolling in secondary education classes, getting a job, or obtaining their citizenship.  Please call or stop by the Literacy office located at Washington-Holmes Technical Center, and make a difference in someone’s life today.
