What you'll be doing
Overview
Chisholm's LINKS Literacy Program offers a community-based literacy program for elementary aged children (grades 1-6) who are reading below grade level or who may have been diagnosed with a learning difference. Inclusivity and accessibility are a top priority to ensure we can help as many children as possible to learn to read, to read to learn.
Our Approach
The LINKS Literacy Program is offered through both in-person and distance learning models.
The program provides learning opportunities for children with a focus on phonological awareness (understanding sounds in words), reading comprehension (understanding words and their meaning), using tools such as sight words (helps to memorize common words), nonsense words (helps match sounds to letters) and instructional resources such as
Handwriting Without Tears
(a program to make handwriting fun).
Small group and one-on-one sessions are offered twice a week. Each session is one hour where the instructor provides short skill-based activities to build on a child's literacy strengths.
Requirements
Whether you meet these requirements or not, we encourage you to share your interest in us. You may still be a fit for a different opportunity with our organization.
