We are the only literacy service available to adult non-readers and children struggling to read in Stokes and eastern Surry Counties. We offer free, private, confidential tutoring to anyone who would like to learn how to read.
We offer a free training program to prepare volunteers and we provide ongoing support when a tutor’s work with a student begins. The first portion of the tutor training is done online and takes about 5 hours to complete. A tutor generally spends 1-2 hours a week with their student once instruction begins.
