24% of the adult population in Brevard County is reading at Basic or Below Basic reading levels. The Literacy Alliance mission is to stamp out illiteracy in Brevard County by providing free tutoring in Reading, Writing, and English as a Second Language

We are an organization of volunteers who are using our time and talents in tutoring adults in Reading, Writing, and English as a Second Language. The Literacy Alliance of Brevard has almost 300 volunteers who tutor adult learners in public libraries or other locations near their homes. We use the Laubach approach to teaching and New Readers Press materials for instruction.

 

We provide free training for our tutors.

"Margie Kinslow is endorsed in Reading K-12 by the State of Florida. She is certified by the Proliteracy of America to train adult  literacy tutors. She provides 15 hours of training for new tutors."

The tutor training includes:

  • Characteristics of the Adult Learner
  • Responsibilities of Tutors
  • The 4 Components of Literacy: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening
  • The 5 Components of Reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension
  • Helping Adult Learners Set Goals
  • Planning and Writing Lesson Plans

All materials in our program are very user friendly. When tutors complete our training, they are confident they will be successful in tutoring adults. Teaching manuals and materials are loaned to our tutors.
