The Literacy Council of South Temiskaming

The Literacy Council of South Temiskaming The Literacy Council provides free training for adults for employment and further education! This program is funded by Employment Ontario.

Although there is no formal consensus on the definition of literacy, we believe that is is more than just being able to read and write. Our purpose is not only to help adults develop the reading and writing skills necessary to meet their specific objectives, but also to help create a learning environment which enables students to find their own voice–and then be heard. We are a volunteer-based org

anization which provides literacy tutoring on a one-on-one basis. Students are encouraged to set their own goals and help tutors develop a personalized curriculum that enables them to work towards these goals. A goal can be anything from helping a child with his or her homework, to preparing for the workplace, to handling business correspondence.
