  Patricia Donnelly, Executive Director of the Literacy Council, talked to the News-Press about the importance of the student-tutor relationship."For some of our students, a classroom session just didn't work for them," she said."But our one-on-one tutoring is an approach that seems to be very effective," said Donnelly.
  
  Donnelly said that one of the main advantages of individual tutoring is handling the complex lives of adult students, that aren't easily fit into consistent and stable classroom sessions.
  ...
  Donnelly told the News-Press how learning literacy as a family doesn't only teach the adults how to read but it goes a long way in helping their kids become more easily accustomed to American schools.
  ...
  Donnelly asked Manley to speak to the group because she wanted people to realize that illiteracy is something people should not be ashamed of, and that illiteracy can be overcome.
  
  "Hopefully, it will take away some of the stigma," said Donnelly.
  ...
  Donnelly said that many people who are illiterate have been able to go a lifetime without ever letting on that they couldn't read."There are little techniques that people use," she said."You wouldn't immediately assume they couldn't read."
  
  Donnelly described how people can get by without reading.She said that they will often use other people without other people realizing it.She used an example of a person in a grocery store.Without an ability to read labels, an illiterate person will often tell another person that they can't find something and ask for help.
  
  By phrasing the request a certain way they change the focus from their inability to read, to their inability to find.Donnelly said this is just one example of the ways that those unable to read have adapted.
  
  Donnelly pointed out that being illiterate has not stopped some people from being successful.She described a man who ran his own business without ever letting on that he couldn't read.At meetings he would use a recorder to take notes and then dictate to his secretary when he needed to write something.
