NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Volunteers and Friends,
Happy Halloween, a thoughtful Veteran's Day, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry
Christmas, and Happy New Year. Oh, and don't forget Election
Day.
The Council has few students currently being served, but
they are grateful for our service. Dan Devine trained his
student well enough to pass the Oregon Driver's License exam,
another feather in Dan's hat.
The Literacy Council is still
without funding, but the Council has little overhead to worry about,
so we are still able to function. We are so grateful for the
office space provided by Rogue Federal Credit Union. Without them
the Council might cease to exist.
Have a great time wrapping
up 2010.

The "three-finger" rule can help
both you and your student select appropriate material. When
starting a new book, students should raise one finger each time
they encounter a word they cannot read. If they've raised three
fingers while reading the first page or two (depending on how many
words are on each page) then the book may be too
difficult.
