The Later Literacy© Program is a one-on-one reading and writing intervention program for division 2 and division 3 students led by a trained Later Literacy © teacher. This short-term intervention program is designed to engage students in literacy learning experiences to acquire the necessary knowledge, attitudes and strategies to function as independent readers and writers. This intervention program is designed to supplement, not replace, the literacy program in the classroom. In January 2000, Dr. Oakley School and the Calgary Board of Education, invited Joyce Macdonald, the developer of the Later Literacy © Program to Calgary to train 30 teachers. Joyce also trained three teachers to become "Teacher Trainers" to other teachers in the CBE. Since 2000, Deidre McConnell, Kim Leong and Sherry Goldenberg have trained over 300 teachers in the LL © Program. Every summer, an institute is offered to train teachers and Educational Assistants in the CBE who are interested in working with individual students in their schools. The Later Literacy © Summer Institute is usually offered at the end of August before school begins in the regular school calendar.
