Literacy Group

Here in Ontario, the Literacy Group offers free help with reading and math skills. They are also beginning to focus more on computer skills. It seems that the majority of people who sign up to improve their computer skills are Canadian, since many other countries already realize the value of computer literacy for their citizens.

I started this week helping with a small group in our area. We have 5 participants, the trainer and I. It’s a small, friendly group and we’re starting from scratch. This week all we did was paperwork, learn the parts of the computer, and learn to turn them on and off. But everyone was quite interested and can’t wait for next week. Child care and transportation costs are also provided by the program. Do you have anything similar where you live?
