Activities


The Rabbittown Express  

This is a paper the learners put together once or twice a year. They include their stories, poems, jokes, recipes, etc.

Letters to the Editor  

On International Literacy Day, three learners wrote letters to the editor expressing their thoughts on illiteracy.
See Letters to the Editor.

First Time Readers  

This is a newspaper the Literacy Council of Newfoundland & Labrador publishes and distributes to all literacy organizations in the province. Our learners read this paper and complete the written exercises. Several learners also write pieces about themselves in the 'meet and greet' column.
See Meet and Greet.

Story Writing  

The learners write paragraphs and short stories. The Rabbittown Learners publish books such as Roses I've Read, Faces of Literacy, Memory Lane, Coming Out of my Shell and From my Heart and Soul. Many of these books are personal anthologies by learners.

National Adult Literacy Database (NALD)  

Learners sometimes have stories posted on-line in the NALD database's Story of the Week. Viewers can not only read the stories, but also hear them read by the authors. See NALD Story of the Week.

Poetry Writing  

The learners use poetry as a means of self expression, sometimes with the help of poetry starters. See Poetry Starters.
