One client needed to pass a competency test at work and so his motivation was . very high, said Janes. Others ' want to get their drivers licenses and need to know how to read the wntten test. An individuals progress is only limited by motivation and desire. Currently there are more clients than volunteers. My goal is to set up tutors in each of the county libraries and other . public buildings and businesses if necessary during the next few months. The program will be ongoing, she said. The Davis County Literacy Action Committee is a nonprofit organization funded through ; Laubach International, an international reading organization. The Davis County Library system provides tutoring rooms, office space, mailings and computer help and support.

Janes also accepts questions; and offers to volunteer at her address: By SUSAN TANNER HOLMES Standard-Examine- r correspondent -- More Farmington in Davis illiterates, which means they read below the sixth grade level, said Irene R. Janes, new coordinator for the Davis County Literacy Action Committee. Many of these adults belong to a group of 138,000 adults in Utah who lack a high school diploma. Nationally 40 million American adults function at the lowest literacy level, and in Utah there are more than 63,000 adults who are unable to do everyday functions because they cant read. A new literacy program gives these adults a learning opportunity to succeed, said Janes, who received her M.Ed. from Utah State University in special education with an emphasis in remedial reading. We want to reach those who never got that individual attention and maybe fell through the cracks and dropped out. Realizing most of the people the committee wants to target cannot read the newspaper, fliers, posters and probably wont make a visit to the public library, Janes is seeking help in getting the word out that Davis County has a program to help those who want to help one-on-o- Wefound that if we help the parents improve their reading skills, they in turn can She is the JANES: new coordinator for the Davis County Literacy help their children. -- Irene R. Janes Action Committee. themselves. We are seeking volunteer tutors to work with a client two days a week for an hour each session, said Janes. All tutoring sessions are located at the Davis County Library branch nearest the individuals home. The Davis County Library is a partner in the literacy effort. Businesses throughout the county are also being contacted. Businesses are asked to serve as partners by encouraging workers to be tutors and by helping to identify individual workers within their organization who want to improve. We want businesses to say, Hey, its OK to improve your literacy skills, she said. We found that if we help the parents improve their reading skills, they in turn can help their children, said Janes, who is also a resource teacher in the Davis School District. The harder the reading gets, the greater the stress level of the parents helping children with . homework. Many parents confess they have difficulty reading the material. The literacy program is not designed to help those with handicaps or those who are learning English as a second language, said Janes. There are a variety of other programs to help these people. The literacy programs tutors are trained to help Davis County residents who cant read or who want to improve their reading skills. Our volunteers all sincerely care about helping others. We have some tutors in their 20s who feel they want to give something back to the community, she Said. All clients are tested for reading ability so proper teaching can take place. The tutoring is free, but there may be a nominal cost for workbooks. Janes stresses that this program is for people who want to help themselves.
