The Reader’s Route needs volunteer tutors, to help adults learn to read better. Some students need help reading instructions on a medicine bottle, or a note from their child’s teacher others want to read the bible or get their GED.

The Reader’s Route is sponsoring Volunteer Tutor Training sessions. Volunteer Tutor Training will be offered

From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursdays, Sept. 18, 25. Oct, 2 and 16, in the second floor conference room at the Danville Public Library, 319 N. Vermilion St.

There are more than 20 million adults in the United States and hundreds locally who share these problems.

The Reader’s Route, a literacy program offered by the Adult Education division of Danville Area Community College, pairs volunteer literacy tutors with adults age 16 years or older who read below the 9th grade level. The Secretary of State, whose office funds the project, requires volunteers to complete 12 hours of training before becoming tutors.

Refreshments will be available. To register, call Louise Free, recruiter trainer at 443-8868 or e-mail lfree@dacc.edu.
