Does Your Child Need Extra Help During Remote Learning Days?
The Literacy Network of South Berkshire (LitNet) is proud to announce that it is now supporting Community Learning in the Berkshires (CLuB) by helping to get the word out and bring tutors to the April Hill Farm program. As reported in a media release, this move is one of several recent developments in LitNet’s operations that signal the organization’s expansion into the community to support immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Per the request of CLuB’s April Hill Farm campus director Maria Rundle, voluntary LitNet tutors will provide support for children who need extra help during their remote learning days, particularly children of frontline, first responder and education workers, single parents, and immigrants where there is not an immersive English experience in the home. According to their website, CLuB is a coalition of organizations formed in order “to meet the pressing needs of working families whose children will be educated remotely this school year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.” All tutoring at the April Hill CLuB site happens out of doors or in well-ventilated barns, and learners and educators are all masked.
