NALC Training Sesson Reflections (3 hrs)

I was very impressed by the concept of the NALC. To hear how many volunteers and students were already involved gave me inspiration to sign up early for sessions. Since the organization revolves around educating mainly students below the 6th grade reading level, there are many opportunities available to meet very diverse students even from foreign countries. The material was mostly familiar with just a few rule names coming back to my memory as I read through the documents in the folder provided. The training host was very nice and enthusiastic. He showed a keen understanding of the material and how to connect with the student in order to make the tutoring session comfortable. Having the format of the training in slide-show format gave good reference to the key points of the training. The most important concept was the help the student grow by connecting with them in some way, where you can help them read an understand more word meanings. Writing and pronunciation are fundamental concepts that was reviewed as well, providing me with a lot to think about before I booked my next sessions. I look forward to supporting this initiative to increase education for the community.
