Queen's Students for Literacy (QSL) is an AMS-ratified club focused on improving the literacy skills and confidence of learners in the community. QSL is based in Kingston, Ontario and runs with the help of volunteers from Queen's University. To increase literacy skills, we follow the Student-Centered Individualized Learning (SCIL) philosophy which reminds us that at the end of the day, our mission is all about helping individuals wherever we can.
Read for Fun: Working one-on-one or small groups with children ages 6-12 (typically grade 1-6, up to grade 8 depending on tutor availability) to increase their literacy and numeracy skills in community Reading Circles located at schools, libraries, and non-profit organizations within the City of Kingston. The main goal of Read for Fun is to instill a love of reading.Â
Literacy Outreach: Working with children, youth, and young adults to increase their literacy and numeracy skills in local shelters for women, families, and youth as well as Immigration Services Kingston and Area (ISKA) multicultural youth groups. The main goal is to create a safe environment for learners to practice their literacy skills.Â
Math is Might: Tutoring students in grades 7-12 in math. Students may need assistance with schoolwork or simply wish to develop their understanding in certain topics. The main goal of Math is Might is to promote math literacy among youth.Â
