Basic Literacy- Students in this program are adult native English speakers who read below an 8th grade level and have practical goals like getting a job, earning a driver's license, or helping their children with homework. A long-term goal might be to earn a high school equivalency degree (GED).
Study Friends- The Study Friends Program is designed to help middle school students improve their reading, writing, math, and homework skills by matching them with a trained adult volunteer tutor. The students are usually referred to the program by their student counselor or teacher.
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL or ESOL) - Learners in this program come to us with varying levels of education in their native country and limited English language skills. Many are immigrants and refugees. Adult students come with specific goals in mind that they want to accomplish through tutoring.
Literacy is for Everyone (LIFE)- Our organization provides literacy enrichment activities and homework assistance to grade school children and a preschool curriculum for 3-5 year olds while their parents attend one of Colorado Mountain College’s developmental education programs.
Raising a Reader- This program rotates a set of bright red bags filled with award-winning children’s books into the homes of low-income families on a weekly basis. This creative “rotating book bag” creates a home-school connection that engages parents as full partners in their child’s development.
Reading Buddies- The Literacy Project works in collaboration with Eagle Valley Library District libraries to provide this reading enrichment program for students in grades 1-3. The program coordinators train teen volunteers from local high schools to work with students in grades 1-3 for an hour per week. Students read, do literacy-based games and activities, and complete group projects during an 8-week session.
