Youth Lit
The Youth Lit programme is an after-school programme
that takes place in NALIS libraries throughout the country
for children aged 9 to 15 years who need remedial help with reading and writing and whose needs are not being addressed in the schools. It started in 2008 and has run successfully with the help of ALTA trained tutors and sponsors.
Ages 9-15
3 sessions per week
1 hr 45 mins each
October to May
10 students to 1 tutor
Register at one of the listed NALIS libraries on the last Monday and Tuesday
in September
Libraries:
Arima, Chaguanas, Mayaro, Point Fortin, Port of Spain,
Sangre Grande
St. Helena, St. James
I look for opportunities for each child to shine. My goal as a Youth Lit tutor is to see not only an improvement in my students’ reading and writing but also for them to graduate from the programme feeling that education is for them.
Judith Affoo,
Youth Lit Coordinator
The moment they realise they can express with confidence their discovery of sounds from letters, there is a reflection of pride and hope in those young eyes. And in that moment, my heart absolutely melts.
Without words, their eyes smile, saying, ‘Miss, I can finally read.’
Kim Belmonte,
Youth Lit Tutor
