We are just finishing our report for the Jan.-March quarter and want to share the results!
This quarter, Literacy Volunteers served over 700 hours in Adult Basic Education, Even Start Family Literacy, and after school Homework Help programs. That hard work has paid off too! Eighty percent of adult students working with a volunteer were retained in their programs, compared to an average of 70% for students without a tutor. Of the tutored adult students,45% improved their English skills. That's 8% higher than the level advancement rate for un-tutored students. Over half of tutored students in the after school programs improved their grades or GPA.
Thanks for all your hard work, it really does make a difference!
