Resources*
THERE ARE MANY, MANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE to help the volunteer
literacy tutor. Resources are not only books and websites, they are people too!
Tutors who are interested in learning more about any aspect of literacy should
talk with a staff member or ask to browse the programs bookshelves.
Here are some of the resources programs might have available.
If they arent available through the agency, they are all available on
loan from the AlphaPlus library. Resources can also be ordered from the
organizations that produced them.
