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.”
