Augustine Literacy Project

ALP Board Chair Denise Ruby discusses a program that has trained over 165 tutors who have provided over 12,000 hours of specialized, individualized reading tutoring in the Upstate of South Carolina. ALP provides at least two no-cost, 45-minute, one-on-one lessons weekly to qualifying students at their school or at an affiliated afterschool program. The lessons are individualized, structured, and multi-sensory. This instruction allows students to process reading in a strategic way, through more than simply looking at words and pictures on a page. In every lesson the student learns to see, hear, touch, say, read, and write letters, words, and sentences.
This meeting of the Rotary E-Club of the Carolinas is moderated by Club President Lenna Young.
