Page 82 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 17, 1991 Project Literacy: Future depends on Last week, Project Literacy co-ordinator Nat Purcell outlin- ed the need for the program here in Terrace. in this, the se- cond in a two-part series, he ex- plains how the program will work. : 4 toe Now installed in an office on Lakelse Ave. — in the Tillicum building — Nat Purcell is now in the midst of training the first _ batch of volunteer tutors who will deliver the program. , That, he said, began last week with a three-hour information meeting for prospective tutors during which they learned why illiteracy is a problem, for whom it is a problem and what Project Literacy hopes to achieve during its first year of operation. This week, they are taking part in a five day, 15-hour train- ing session which teaches them Purcell said the next step will be to match tutors with learners, To do that, he will first inter- view those interested in taking advantage of the opportunity to “upgrade and home their skills’* to discover ‘‘who they are and what their needs are.” _ Explaining the importance of | the former, he said past ex- perience had shown better results were achieved where people of similar backgrounds were brought together. . Purcell said teaching initially would be on a one-on-one basis, one to two hours per week, over a three and a half month periad. Instruction could take place at the project’s Lakelse Ave. of- fice but more likely at the learners’ home — or wherever they felt more comfortable. After one month of opera- tion, he would also try to set up weekly group meetings ‘‘in the While noting the program will probably ‘‘start slowly’ with no more than 10 students and tutors, Purcell added, “We're hoping for a domino ef- fect, that the first’ time round ' three or four pecple really get what they've come for and spread the word to other peo-” ple." "He said that would provide the momentum for a second teaching session scheduled to begin in early September, one which would see more tutors and learners being brought into the program. Plans also call for two more such sessions beginn- ing in January and March 1992. Each of those sessions would be preceded by tutor-training workshops, The program's ex- perience to date would be of particular benefit to volunteers taking part in those workshops, results | the results to date.
