The Rowan County Literacy Council has just completed a Laubach workshop for new tutors.
The workshop was conducted by trainers Clyde Harriss, Dot Hurley, Phyllis Martin and Carolyn Myers.
The training is for non-professional people who would like to help others improve their reading skills or teach English as a Second Language to foreign-born residents.
Tutors completing the 13-hour course were: Dorothy Ann Coble, Anne Corriher, Denise Fink, Ingrid Hinman, Dennis Melton, Lorraine Reidda, Rick Travis and Denny White.
The Literacy Council offers tutoring services to any adult 16 and older. Anyone wanting to register for the next workshop or to receive tutoring help should call the Literacy Office at 704-216-8266.
The Rowan County Literacy Council is a nonprofit United Way agency.
Most instruction is offered one-on-one by trained tutors, the agency’s Web site says.
