Word Street Reopens for Free Tutoring - January 02, 2008
Word Street, a free drop-in tutoring and literary arts center, reopens on Monday, January 7. Students between the ages of 8 and 18 are invited for free tutoring, homework help, and literary arts instruction from 3:30-5:30PM Monday-Thursday and 12-3PM on Saturday.
Word Street is staffed by Massachusetts licensed teachers and professional writers, ready to help students with anything related to reading and writing across the curriculum. The writing center is equipped with comfortable work spaces, a readers and writers library of thousands of titles, hi-speed internet, printing and copying capabilities, school supplies, and a snack pantry.
Students are tutored, free of charge, on a first-come first-served basis and focus on the student's specific needs, homework, or school project. No appointment necessary.
Parents interested in finding out more about Word Street's programming should call Executive Director, Frank Tempone at 442-2732.
Word Street is an educational nonprofit under the fiscal guidance of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. Free drop-in tutoring is possible, in part, because of the generosity of the Berkshire Bank Foundation, Dave Eggers, and tax-deductible donations. Visit Word Street on the web at wordstreet.org. |
