On completion of the training, volunteers will be equipped to facilitate a small group of adult community members to gain essential skills and knowledge in the area of literacy.
Read Write and Spell’s qualified teachers will be facilitating the training weekend at Muswellbrook Library on September 17 and 18.
The adult literacy training weekend will ultimately provide opportunities through qualified volunteer tutors for community members to engage in adult literacy programs.
These programs will provide literacy skills through reading, writing and numeracy skills to adults within our community where literacy is a barrier to obtain the skills they need to fully participate in life, learning, community and employment.
The cost of the weekend Tutor Training is free, spaces are limited and it is intended that participants once qualified will be able to support a small adult literacy group working alongside Muswellbrook Library and Upper Hunter Community Services.
The “Reading Rocks” initiative aims to promote literacy and life-long learning in Muswellbrook and the Upper Hunter.
We would like to acknowledge the support of the Reading Rocks key partners, BHP Billiton Mt Arthur Coal, Muswellbrook Shire Council, Upper Hunter Regional Library and Upper Hunter Community Services.
Please contact Mel Atkinson at Upper Hunter Community Services on (02) 6542 3555 for further information about the program or to register for the training.
