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
