The Programs of Literacy Services

The Need

Literacy Services of Wisconsin was founded in 1965 when a group of concerned citizens organized the first volunteer based literacy program in the state. The Wisconsin Laubach Literacy Coordinating Committee recruited volunteer tutors and sponsoring organizations thatprovided the space, materials and training for new tutors who would conduct individualized instruction of students. Over the years, this grassroots effort grew steadily and has become the multi-faceted organization it is today.

The need for quality, no-cost, individualized literacy tutoring is more important to our city than ever before. The 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy reports that Milwaukee has a rate of 27% illiteracy among adult residents. This alarming level of illiteracy is related to other problems such as unemployment, poverty and crime. Literacy Services provides a solution to adults who seek education as a means to improve their circumstances in life.

Program Descriptions

Adult students at Literacy Services of Wisconsin enroll in one of three core programs:

Adult Basic Education (ABE):Improvement in reading, writing, spelling or mathematics is the goal of our ABE curriculum. Students work with tutors in a one-to-one situation tailored to the individual need of the student. The materials, pace and length of instruction are adjustable based on the student’s goals and learning profile.

High School Equivalency Preparation(GED and HSED):Adults prepare to take the examinations which will lead to a GED or HSED diploma. Areas of study include reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, health and civics. Studentsreceive individualized coaching and pre-test until they are confident in their ability to successfully pass the examinations at a GED or HSED testing site.

English as a Second Language (ESL):Non-native English speakers with a range of ability enroll in this program to receive individualized instruction. The goal is to achieve fluency and competence in English, initially in speaking, then in writing.

Additional Programs at the Laubach Center

In this past fiscal year, instruction was also provided in these additional areas:

Reading Skills Program:Adult students with a known or suspected learning disability such as dyslexia receive tutoring in this program. Methods are multi-sensory, increasing receptivity, interpretation and retention of reading material. Adults who have struggled and had minimal success in traditional educational settings are achieving reading gains in this program.

Family Literacy Program:Children of adult students participate in this program. While parents are working with a tutor, the children receive nurturing care and educational support. Emphasis is placed on building and strengthening reading skills, and preparing children for academic achievement.

Computer Learning Center:Adult students utilize the Computer Learning Center to supplement their instruction and study. Students are encouraged to develop computer skills, and to practice and reinforce their core curriculum program with additional study. Educational software matches the ABE, GED and ESL curriculum.

Additional Programs at the Laubach Center

In this past fiscal year, instruction was also provided in these additional areas:

Reading Skills Program:Adult students with a known or suspected learning disability such as dyslexia receive tutoring in this program. Methods are multi-sensory, increasing receptivity, interpretation and retention of reading material. Adults who have struggled and had minimal success in traditional educational settings are achieving reading gains in this program.

Family Literacy Program:Children of adult students participate in this program. While parents are working with a tutor, the children receive nurturing care and educational support. Emphasis is placed on building and strengthening reading skills, and preparing children for academic achievement.

Computer Learning Center:Adult students utilize the Computer Learning Center to supplement their instruction and study. Students are encouraged to develop computer skills, and to practice and reinforce their core curriculum program with additional study. Educational software matches the ABE, GED and ESL curriculum.

The Programs of Literacy Services

2 11

The Need

Literacy Services of Wisconsin was founded in 1965 when a group of concerned citizens organized the first volunteer based literacy program in the state. The Wisconsin Laubach Literacy Coordinating Committee recruited volunteer tutors and sponsoring organizations thatprovided the space, materials and training for new tutors who would conduct individualized instruction of students. Over the years, this grassroots effort grew steadily and has become the multi-faceted organization it is today.

The need for quality, no-cost, individualized literacy tutoring is more important to our city than ever before. The 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy reports that Milwaukee has a rate of 27% illiteracy among adult residents. This alarming level of illiteracy is related to other problems such as unemployment, poverty and crime. Literacy Services provides a solution to adults who seek education as a means to improve their circumstances in life.

Program Descriptions

Adult students at Literacy Services of Wisconsin enroll in one of three core programs:

Adult Basic Education (ABE):Improvement in reading, writing, spelling or mathematics is the goal of our ABE curriculum. Students work with tutors in a one-to-one situation tailored to the individual need of the student. The materials, pace and length of instruction are adjustable based on the student’s goals and learning profile.

High School Equivalency Preparation(GED and HSED):Adults prepare to take the examinations which will lead to a GED or HSED diploma. Areas of study include reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, health and civics. Studentsreceive individualized coaching and pre-test until they are confident in their ability to successfully pass the examinations at a GED or HSED testing site.

English as a Second Language (ESL):Non-native English speakers with a range of ability enroll in this program to receive individualized instruction. The goal is to achieve fluency and competence in English, initially in speaking, then in writing.
