Orientation to the Adult Literacy Program
The Orientation talks about the problems of illiteracy (in our communities, our country, and the world), and describes the Adult Literacy program; there is also an opportunity to ask questions. For those interested in becoming tutors with Hawaii Literacy, there is a 16-hour training program. (The Orientation is REQUIRED for those who will be attending the training.)
The training program discusses strategies that can be used in working with an adult on his/her basic reading and writing in a one-to-one situation; the trainees are given an opportunity to practice the strategies; the recommended books are discussed and demonstrated. Please call Hawaii Literacy at 537-6706 for further information and to sign up for the Orientation.

Thank You Barnes & Noble, BJ Penn, MMA Hawaii Magazine, and 7 Volunteers
Thank you to Barnes & Noble-Ala Moana, MMA Hawaii Magazine, BJ Penn, and the 7 volunteers who helped us in a fundraising event for Hawaii Literacy on June 28 at Ala Moana Shopping Mall. The children were super excited about meeting a local athlete and had a great time combing the children's book section.
A percentage of all proceeds earned will go to Hawaii Literacy's Classroom on Wheels Program (Bookmobile) and the Family Libraries.
Thank You Kochi!
