Our Basic Reading Learners are adults who are proficient in English, but may have difficulty identifying letters or words, reading a menu or sign, filling out a job application, or doing simple math. Learn more about what tutoring looks like:

 

  • Sessions are led by trained volunteer tutors.
     

  • Tutoring sessions help with basic reading, writing, spelling, and simple math skills (if desired).

  • Becoming a learner is completely free aside from a one-time $10 fee to cover the assessment.​
     

  • Tutoring takes place at a public location (like a library) or remotely via Zoom at a day and time convenient for both tutor and learner.

  • Sessions are typically one hour per week.

Contact the office for more details.

The Literacy Connection is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization helping adult individuals learn to read, write, speak, and understand English. Adult learners are provided one-on-one or small group tutoring services for free in the sixteen northwest Chicago suburban communities we serve. All donations are tax deductible to the full amount allowed by law.
