Burke Augustine Literacy Project

Burke Augustine Literacy Project Training in long-term instruction in reading, writing, and spelling to low income children and teens

The Augustine Literacy Project® was founded in 1994 by Church of the Holy Family in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Burke ALP is a replication chapter of the Augustine Literacy Project, serving struggling readers in Burke County. We train and support volunteer tutors who provide free, one-on-one, long-term instruction in reading, writing, and spelling to low income children and teens who struggle wit

h literacy skills. The program provides each tutor with 70 hours of training (classroom and practicum) based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, using research-based reading materials from a variety of sources, including the Wilson Reading System®. The Orton-Gillingham approach is a systematic, multisensory, phonetic teaching methodology that is proven to work with learning disabled children and others with reading difficulties. Oak Hill UMC received a grant from Duke Endowment to expand our outreach to the Oak Hill Community and starting the Burke County chapter of the Augustine Literacy Project® is part of that outreach. We are excited to partner with Alisha Crawley, teacher at Oak Hill Elementary School, who is trained to train ALP tutors and will serve as the Director of Burke ALP.
