3? Library Will Host Workshop

£ COURT. HOUSE - As ¥ part of a nationwide fight A ' on illiteracy, the Literacy Y Volunteers of America will conduct a workshop for S tutors Wednesday. Nov. 7. *JZ- and 8 and again Nov. 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in l|r the public meeting room of J the Cape May County ISt Library. . ^ KK The workshop will teach Cm. tutoring skills and techniSr ques. Studies have shown ' that the best way to overcome illiteracy is one-to-gs one tutoring. ^ SEVENTY FIVE percent ^ of the unemployed lack the m necessary skills of reading ^ and communication, II authorities say. As many

as 25 million Americans are "functionally illiterate" and 54 million more are operating at a "marginal level or below" which means they cannot read or write enough to understand a complicated danger warning on a bottle of medication, fire warn- i ings in a factory or instructions for the operation of a < piece of expensive and < complex machinery. i The total cost to < American taxpayers is in I excess of 15 billion dollars a £ year, every year. In p September, 1978, Sen. George McGovern I documented that "30 per- c cent of Navy ii

recruits ... are a danger to themselves and to costly naval equipment because they lack basic educational skills. One illiterate recruit caused 1250,000 of damage because be could not read a repair manual". The principal reasons cited far the growth of illiteracy are "the increased dependence of television, chronic substandard reading and writing habits of millions of people and the failure of families and schools to cope with the problem. Frequent request for help in reading are received by the library and other institutions. Anyone who would like to help stem the tide of illiteracy or to help one person learn to read is urged to join in the tutoring workshps. There is not co6t for this program.
