Materials

Wordswell uses educational materials that develop the capabilities of reading with good comprehension and expressing thoughts with clarity and eloquence. At a broader level, they are concerned with the need for high ideals and noble words to be translated into pure deeds. Certain books address mathematical concepts and social issues, while others seek to prepare young people to approach the investigation of reality in a scientific manner. The materials also seek to cultivate certain attitudes and to explore essential moral concepts that will underlie the decisions and guide the actions of young people as they mature into adults and active participants of society.

Animators

Junior youth groups are accompanied by one or two older youth who serve as the group’s “animators.” Often in their late teens or early twenties, animators themselves benefit from the opportunity to examine their own goals and capacities while accompanying their younger peers.
