Stories and lessons have been updated several times since. Another key to the program's success is the relationship that develops between the student and tutor. Anyone can learn to be a Laubach tutor by taking a free 10 hour course. Library staff and Friend's trainers conduct the sessions. Check our calendar page for the next tutor training in your area, or see our Become a Tutor page.
Students come from all over Palm Beach County.
We get referrals and requests for help from the Literacy Coalition, the Private Industry Council, the school system, and individuals who hear about the program through word of mouth. Students coming into the program read below the fifth grade level, must be over 18, speak English, and have the desire to improve their reading skills. Students blossom as they gain confidence and self-esteem from learning to read. Become a reading tutor, refer an adult non-reader to us, or promote our program in your community and invite us to speak to your organization. Please read it.
