A number of ASD-N Schools are seeking community volunteers to assist with literacy for some Grade 2 students. They are preparing to implement a program called “ELF”. To quote from the organizations brochure: “Elementary Literacy Friends (ELF) is a volunteer-based tutoring program that helps Grade 2 students who are struggling with literacy.  ELF provides training, materials, feedback and all of the support necessary for the tutor to make a positive, lifelong impact not just on an individual child, but on how that child will contribute to society throughout his or her life.” The complete brochure with further details is attached below. The schools showing interest in this program to date are Jacquet River School, Ian Baillie Primary, Napan School, Nelson Rural School, Gretna Green Elementary and North and South Esk Elementary. If you are interested in volunteering please contact your local school.
