SUMMARY:Astonished! Summer Literacy Program (2026)  Expression of Interest
DESCRIPTION:Background Information \nAstonished! Inc is a registered non-profit charity based in Regina\, Saskatchewan. We work in an inclusive community to address barriers facing young adults with complex physical disAbilities (Core Members) by creating opportunities for teaching and learning; social\, recreational and cultural engagement; and for employment and housing. One of our four program areas is the Astonished! Summer Literacy Program. \n  \nProgram Overview \nA summer program designed to explore and respond to the literacy strengths\, dreams\, and needs of Astonished! Core Members. Program content is shaped by the strengths\, dreams\, and needs of each participant. To begin\, Astonished! staff work with each participant\, and those close to them\, to identify their ‘Literacy Strengths\, Dreams\, and Needs’. Example dreams might include: developing literacy skills (reading\, numeracy\, technology\, etc.)\, increasing literacy skills\, or simply having more time to read and/or use various forms of technology. Based on the strengths\, dreams\, and needs expressed\, program participants will be offered individualized opportunities and/or group opportunities. \nSome of the noteworthy successes of previous summers include: working with the ALL Curriculum (Accessible Literacy Learning) to develop and refine pre-literacy skills; participating in a book club; enhancing financial/numerical literacy skills; engaging in creative writing exercises; learning about health literacy (nutrition) and exploring a variety of technological literacy such as websites\, social media and various ‘apps’. Optional evening sessions included cultural literacy lessons\, visiting local establishments\, and game nights. \nThe program will be comprised of 16 sessions with each session running from 1:00-4:00 at the University of Regina. Program participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the University as well as their own personal care (washroom needs and medical). \n  \nAfternoon Sessions: \nJuly 2\,8\,9\,15\,16\,22\,23\,29\,& 30 \nAugust 5\,6\,12\,13\,19\,20\, \nWrap up BBQ August 20th 6:00pm – 8:00 pm at Candy Cane Park \n\n  \n\nIf you are not a current Core Member\, please visit https://www.beingastonished.com/become-a-member/ to sign up for your free membership! \n  \nFor more information\, please see the document below \n‘Expression of Interest Form’ included below \n\n\n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n							Loading...\n						\n					\n					\n						\n							\n							Taking too long?\n						\n						\n							\n								 Reload document							\n							|\n							\n								 Open in new tab							\n					\n				\n			\n		Download [250.61 KB]
