want.
Hypnotism is
not a "black art" and it can't make you
perform acts that would be dangerous
to yourself or to others. It does not help
people believe in what they don't believe,
or persuade you to buy products you
don't really want, Dr. Levine said. Fi

hands-on techniques for
successful tutoring at the Detroit
Jewish Coalition for Literacy
(DJCL) workshop to be held from
10 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Jan. 12,
at the Max M. Fisher Federation
Building, Bloomfield Township.
Mary Masson, an early
childhood education consultant
for Oakland Schools, will give
volunteers tools to provide the
maximum literacy experience
when reading aloud to young
children and in guiding them in
selecting appropriate books for
various age and skill levels.
Free books for DJCL students,
many of whom have never owned
a book, will be distributed to
volunteers at the workshop.
Masson has taught students
PK-3 for more than 23 years in
Oakland County and in other
states. She has worked as an early
childhood education consultant
for Oakland Schools, the county's
intermediate school district
serving all 28 Oakland County
public school districts and charter
schools, for the past 10 years.
Founded and facilitated by
the Jewish Community Relations
Council of Metropolitan Detroit
(JCRC), the DJCL engages
volunteers from local Jewish
organizations, impacting K-3
students in schools in Detroit and
Oakland County through tutoring
and enrichment programs and
book drives.
The DJCL, one of the JCRC's
most popular and enduring
outreach projects, conducts
training workshops and provides
resources for its volunteer tutors.
JCRC board member Ruth Grey
and Ellie Slovis are co-chairs of
the DJCL.
