Project Read of the San Francisco Public Library: July 2016

Welcome to Write Away!

The writing forum for Project Read learners.

We've redesigned our blog so that adult learners working at Project Read can share what they have written with other learners, tutors, and the public. There are a few simple guidelines to be aware of.

This is a moderated site, so submissions and comments will first be reviewed before being approved and published.
Adult learners submitting their writing have the option of using their first name (only) or using "anonymous" for authorship.
We wish to honor the writing efforts of the adult learner/authors, so no major copy editing will be applied, but we may suggest minor corrections in consultation with the author.
Only active Project Read learners are eligible to submit their writing to the Write Away blog and there are two ways of doing this: send submissions via email to projectread@sfpl.org, or stop by the office with a hard copy of your writing.
The views and opinions expressed on this web site are solely those of the original authors and contributors. These views and opinions do not represent those of the San Francisco Public Library and/or the City and County of San Francisco.

To Whom It May Concern

In February 2014, I called Project Read at the public library and I talked with a person about reading. They put me with a lady named Rose. She has been teaching me how to read. I have learned a lot from her and I am still learning today.

The Beach

Today I'm going to write about something different. I'm going to tell you about a perfect day at the beach. It would be a clear day with offshore winds. There would be a lot of perfect waves and a lot of surfers in the waves. The sand would be clean and white. People would be barbecuing hamburgers and hotdogs. Everybody would be getting a lot of sun in their swimming suits and sunglasses. That's a perfect day at the beach.
