We welcomed new tutors to our tutoring staff:

DELTA LITERACY PROJECT

The program is in need of small hand held tape recorders. If you have a tape recorder that you are not using, we would appreciate you donating them to the literacy program.

The purpose of the Delta Literacy Project is to help decrease the illiteracy rate among adults in the Chicago area. The project has a staff of volunteer tutors, the majority being members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Each tutor has been certified and trained to teach adults "how to read". They also teach math to students who desire it. Tutors and students meet twice a week for a free one-to-one tutoring session. Tutoring sessions are 1 1/2 hours and students are 18 years and older, who test below an 8.9 Reading Level. These students are given appropriate studies in reading math, English and spelling based on individual need. Tutoring is provided 1 on 1. The Delta Literacy Project is state funded and collaborates with other state and city adult literacy projects.

TUTORS NEEDED!

More tutors are needed for our program, especially anyone available during the week. Sessions last anywhere from one hour to one hour and a half, per student. If any soror is interested or has a friend, neighbor or church member, who you think would be interested in working with the Literacy Program, please have them call. We have more students then we have tutors. This is a very rewarding experience for all concerned. We need reading and math tutors.
