Basic Literacy

The Basic Literacy program is LVA’s oldest and largest program. Each year, LVA trains Basic Literacy tutors who provide ongoing tutoring to adults with poor literacy skills. Volunteers receive Basic Literacy training and are matched with a student who closely matches their interests, strengths, and geographical location. Tutors and students then select a location outside of their home that is convenient to both for the one-on-one tutoring session. Each pair must commit to a minimum tutoring schedule of two hours per week. Student and tutor pairs are encouraged to use LVA’s computer lab and lending library to enhance their tutoring sessions.

If you are interested in becoming a Basic Literacy Tutor, please complete our tutor application form and fax or mail it to our office.

If you are already a Basic Literacy tutor, you can access the tutor report form here. You can also access additional training from the Verizon Literacy Campus online.
