Read On relies on adult volunteers (18+) to tutor adult students one-on-one or in small groups.  Student goals may include:  reading, writing, speaking or listening skills, studying for their Canadian Citizenship or driving license, or ESL Conversation Classes. Our students are either Adult Basic Education (fluent in English but need help with reading and writing) or English Language Learners.
Volunteers will complete 6.5 hours of Tutor Training prior to being assigned a student. Once a student is assigned, they meet for approximately one hour per week.
Time commitment for being a Read On Volunteer is: 6.5 hours of initial training, 1 hour per week of tutoring, approximately 15 – 30 minutes per week to prepare for lessons and complete required statistics. We would ask that you be able to volunteer with Read On for a minimum of 6 months.
If you would like to register as a volunteer please call Read On staff at 403-320-4977 or 403-320-3133 or

We will start by learning the Blackfoot alphabet & sounds, then move on to  speaking simple sentences.  You will also hear Blackfoot stories in Blackfoot and English. When the weather gets nicer, we will visit local sites that have Blackfoot cultural significance. You must pre-register for this class by calling 403-320-3133 or 403-320-4977 or by visiting the Read On offices, located in the Main Branch of the Lethbridge Public Library. This program is now FULL. We are, however, taking names for a waitlist.
