Hoosier Hills Literacy League

Jennifer Hale had been signed on as a tutor with us for many months, but received her first student in August, 2009. Her student, Bill* (not his real name), had graduated high school, but could only guess at most words. In just one 90 minute session, Bill had learned to read, and was reading the paper! After approximately 5 sessions with Bill, he was reading novels from the Young Adult section of the library, and at the end, he was correcting the spelling in his girlfriend’s master’s thesis!

Charlie* ( a pseudonym) had been calling our program for weeks looking for a tutor for his wife, who speaks Chinese. When I finally matched her up with Jennifer, she reported that she had learned to read English after the first session!

Jennifer credits her success to her experience as a homeschool mom, as well as to her very effective phonics teaching materials. Above all, Jennifer credits her success to her faith in God.

Kudos to Jennifer!
