If you were to walk into any
TEACH site, you would see
volunteers of all ages teaching
adults of different language
levels learning how to read
and write.
The volunteers would be
engaging their learners in
phonic games, role-playing,
reading stories, playing bingo,
and maybe even creating
historical puzzles
and stories.
These and other activities
are available to all tutors as
they help their learner
acquire important life skills,
and overcome the barriers
of being labeled “foreign.”
