PROGRAM INFORMATION
Reading & Writing (Adult Literacy)
These classes are designed for adults, primarily native English speakers, who want to improve their reading and writing skills. This developmental reading program
takes learners from reading level 0 to reading level
6.0, the pre-GED level. Class materials reflect real-life
situations designed to hold the interest of adults.
English
as a Second Language (ESL)
These classes are designed for non-native English speakers
who wish to improve their skills in reading and speaking
English. Beginning classes are geared toward learners
who have little or no prior knowledge of English.
As learners advance through the program, they will master
progressively higher levels of language and workplace and life skills.
Citizenship
Preparation
Citizenship preparation classes are designed for non-native
speakers of English who are interested in applying for
naturalization and want to prepare for the civics and
English test and interview required by the United States Citizenship Information Services (USCIS). These classes are suitable for learners of English as a Second Language at the High-Beginning through High-Intermediate levels.
GED
Preparation
The C.A.L.L. Program offers preparation for the GED Tests through an online program. In order to register for this course, students must make an appointment to take a placement test at the Las Vegas Library by calling 507-6015 Monday through Thursday, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. If the program coordinator determines that a candidate has an adequate level of knowledge, she will provide him with a user name and password to log on to the program and a data disk that is used to track progress. At this point, students can use the disk to access the program from any computer with Internet access.
