The Literacy Program at Cumberland College is designed to help adults improve their basic reading, writing, and numeracy skills. Level 1 learners begin by learning the foundations of reading and numeracy.

The Circle of Learning Benchmarks describes literacy as a collection of skills, practices, and learnings that contribute to an individual’s ability to understand, communicate, and participate at home, at work, in education, and in the community. Also included are:

listening and speaking
reading and writing
observing, viewing, and representing
spelling
numeracy
use of technology, such as computers and calculators

Tutors may be available at Melfort, Nipawin, and Tisdale for individual and/or group Literacy classes. It is never too late to learn to read! Individualized programs may be provided from September to June. Please contact your nearest College office for more information.
