Language Olympics - Jill McNicol

Carmen is joined today by Jill McNicol who shares about the literacy program Language Olympics.  The Language Olympics material is designed to use Bible stories to teach others to read.  Jill shares the importance of reading skills throughout life and how this material combines Bible truths with learning for a positive outcome.  

Language Olympics website:

https://www.languageolympics.org

One-on-one tutoring program that helps with both learning to read (Literacy) and learning to speak English (ESL). Invite your community to the table to learn how their child can bump up their reading level or catch up where they may have fallen behind as a result of distance learning, etc., while introducing them to the word of God.

Chet Cantrell, CAC, once told us that the greatest outreach a church could do was to make sure every child in their community could read by the 3rd grade.
