Mission: Literacy services of wisconsin, inc. Educates, motivates, and inspires engaged adults to achieve greater independence and transofrm thier lives.
Programs: The adult basic education program utilizes a phonics-based multi-sensory curriculum that assists a variety of students in achieving their goals. Students are continually evaluated to monitor their progress, including assessments at intake and comparing scores after six months. The average student attends three hours of one-on-one tutoring a week at our convenient downtown location. Students advance at their own pace and many discover a new confidence in their abilities. Our specialized mode of "one tutor/one student" has a direct effect on student development. The communication that is built is a lasting bond that inspires and motivates student and tutor alike.
in our general education development (ged) program, students work one-on-one with a dedicated tutor to ensure a quality education. Under the current test requirements, students study extensively in four testing areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
the english language learning (ell) program focuses on the needs of students from over 50 different countries. It provides one-on-one instruction in reading, writing, spelling, and verbal skills for non-english speakers. In addition to academic achievement, ell students also work to achieve goals such as employment, housing, driver licenses, and, ultimately, u. S. Citizenship.
