Reading and Writing and... You'll Never, Ever Know If You Never, Ever... GIVE IT A GO!!!
Many C-BERS clients have told us of their distress at not being able to read and write to a reasonable standard. We often hear of the embarrassment and sense of inadequacy clients may feel in leisure and work situations or in not being able to assist children or grandchildren with their homework.
C-BERS encourages and supports clients wishing to improve their reading, writing, or numbers skills and a growing number of our clients who have taken advantage of the opportunity to seek help in these areas are now reaping the rewards. They delight in being able to keep up with current affairs through reading the newspaper and the joy that comes from immersing themselves in a good book. Others report great satisfaction in confidently being able to help their children and grandchildren with homework problems.
In this edition, we hear from two men who have tackled the lack of adequate literacy training in their education and of the benefits they have gained as a result.
