Literacy Volunteers offer ESOL classes in Clifton
Literacy Volunteers offer ESOL classes
* 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 Passaic County, 26 percent of all adults are considered functionally illiterate - they can't read to their children, help with homework, or write a note to a child's teacher.
* At Literacy Volunteers of America, they 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 a 16-hour training to become a Literacy Volunteers of America tutor.
* Classes will be held in Clifton City Hall, 900 Clifton Ave. on Saturdays, Sept. 6, 13, 20, 27, from noon to 4 p.m. Participants must attend all sessions. Call 973-566-6200, ext. 217 to register, or email email@example.com. For more information visit www.lvanewark.org.
