More Reading Training
Aim Of Literacy Council
Summer is a time when many
routines change, a time when
people find themselves more con
scious of relaxation and. perhaps,
more aware of leisure time. With
the fewer responsibilities summer
can bring also comes opportunities
for different training experiences
and a chance for helping other
people in a way which can brighten
the life of the person who if helping
as well as the person who is being
helped.
At the Hoke County Literacy
Council meeting on June 2 plans
were discussed for two more of the
tutor training workshops which the
Council has held in recent months.
As anyone over 12 years old who
can read on at least the fourth
grade level can teach an adult to
read using the Laubach system, the
Council has been working on
scheduling a workshop for young
people at the Open Door teen
center. Some of the best tutors are
youth, according to Miss Marti
Lane, literacv worker for the
Lutheran Church Women in the
United States and Canada.
Another workshop for adults is
being planned for the South Hoke
Community Center. Both of these
workshops are being planned for
June. Much interest has been
expressed in this activity from the
Antioch area.
Persons interested in teaching
adults to read on an "each-one
teach-one" informal basis are
requested to call Mrs. Nina Mor
risey at Cameron Heights Com
munity Center, 875-5536; Mrs. Eva
Jacobs at South Hoke Community
Center, 875-4711; Mrs. Kay
Thomas, 875-2366; Miss Ellen
Currie. Literacy Council co
chairman. 875-3791. Also welcome
are calls giving names of people
who Wish to learn to read.
Next Literacy Council meeting is
scheduled for Thursday, July 8. at
7:30 p.m. at the Cameron Heights
Community Center. All persons
who have taken the workshops are
