Fast Track Reading System for Volunteer Tutors

Register today for the Fast Track Reading System for Volunteer Tutors Workshop on October 23, Friday in Leesburg. For times and location go to our wiki. The brochure posted on the wiki has more details.

Explore the “Fast Track Reading” course developed specifically for lower-level readers by the Jacksonville Public Library. The system incorporates a unique, accelerated approach to reading instruction that focuses on syllable division, syllable types, and other word attack strategies.

VALF is hosting this free workshop. The library has found proven instructional strategies that work with basic reading students who have not succeeded in other programs. Sharon Hastings Jaskula, long time manager of the Jacksonville Public Library’s award winning literacy program, is the program presenter. Register today by sending your name, program name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail to literacyflorida@hotmail.com. Also include your title (Program Manager, Tutor Trainer, Tutor, Teacher etc.)

The Jacksonville Public Library developed this program with funding from a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), a federal grant administered by the State Library and Archives of Florida.
