Children's Literacy Society, Vernon & District 12408 Anjou Drive Vernon, BC, V1B 1N6 Phone: (250) 558-7876  Fax: (250) 558-5512 E-mail: [email protected] The One-to-one Children's Literacy Program was developed by learning assistance teachers employed by the Vancouver School Board and volunteers with the Junior League of Greater Vancouver. It began in 1989 as a pilot project in one of the East Vancouver elementary schools. Since then, it has expanded to include many more schools in that city, and it has also been invited into seven of the nine Okanagan Mainline school districts. Trained volunteers work "one-on-one" three or four times a week with children who are having some problems with reading fluency and/or comprehension, but not sufficient difficulties as to require Learning Assistance. The tutors employ simple strategies aimed at increasing each child's reading skills and therefore his/her self-confidence. They do so with caring and fun,and the results are often quite dramatic.
