SCLLN - Call 4 Presenters

Thursday, 03 December 2009 18:21 |

Southern California Library Literacy Network
Annual Tutor Conference February 27, 2010
Holiday Inn - Buena Park

Call 4 Presenters

If you would like to present a workshop, or if you know a volunteer or a community member who would make a great presenter, please contact SCLLN as soon as possible.

SCLLN has 21 slots to fill = Deadline: December 15 !
There are 3 Strands of Workshop sessions @ 75 minutes.
9:00am – 10:15am . . . 10:30am – 11:45am . . . 1:45pm – 3:00pm

And if anyone from Central or Northern California wants to join the fun, let's talk.

The conference is for tutors, learners, and literacy staff, and often times there's a mix in the workshop audience. SCLLN does have a "Learner Strand", and we love workshops that encourage participation from tutor-learner pairs, but there are also classes geared specifically to tutors.

Sorry, there's no stipend available this year, but presenters earn free admission to the conference and our undying gratitude. Yeah, it's the best we can do in a sour economy . . . .

Anyway, time's fleeting, so please contact me if you're interested.

Lookin' forward to the flood of applications in my inbox in the next few days.

'That's Like Me!' - a book about learning disabilities - includes Granby man's struggle with dyslexia

Friday, 20 November 2009 02:44 |

By Lynette Chen Contributing writer

Granby, NY -- When Kevin Wallace was a young pupil, he asked his teacher how to make the letters hold still on the pages he was trying to read. For his questions, his skeptical teacher sent him to the corner.

So Wallace kept his problem a secret and didn't learn to read. He passed along through school and into adulthood basically faking it.
