  • Enhance a learner’s primary instruction by working with an individual or small group on topics, such as spelling and job-specific literacy tasks
     

  • Teach special short-term classes to meet learner needs, like job interview skills, how to register to vote, how to use the library, and test-taking skills
     

  • Start a book discussion group
