One thousand volunteers will be trained Friday, Sept. 13, and Saturday, Sept. 14, to tutor children in reading in Utah elementary schools.
The Utah Association of Women is sponsoring the conference, "A Thousand Points of Light on Literacy," in an effort to eliminate illiteracy among children in lower elementary grades.The training is designed to make tutors useful to the teachers with whom they will be working.
The Utah Association of Women is looking for additional volunteers throughout the state to participate in the conference. Contact Kaye Warner, Salt Lake City, 582-2896.
