Literacy Volunteers of Franklin and Somerset Counties has been serious about lifelong learning since 1978; during this global pandemic everyone is learning new things. LVFSC, a 501 (3c) public non profit with a mission to tutor adults with literacy goals and  promote literacy in the community, is busy right now using their web of creative and adaptive volunteers and collaborators to stay  connected with adult learners to strengthen literacy skills, support families and poets, and keep people safe.

The Annual Poetry Contest is currently underway with cash prizes in six categories and a deadline of May 15.

The LVFSC Adult Tutoring Program is very busy right now tutoring 100 adults who are participating in long distance tutoring arrangements using distance learning platforms such as telephone, video conferencing, and Facebook.  READ MORE ➤➤

Thirty Years of Friends of Literacy

April 2020 marks 30 years since the NWT Literacy Council was created. We are excited to celebrate with you all year long, starting with NWT Literacy Week from April 19 to April 25. We have several events, contests, and ways to share memories planned for the whole year. Please join us in celebrating the hard work of NWT residents in increasing the profile of literacy as well as increasing their own literacy skills over the last 30 years.

Many people have shaped the work of the NWT Literacy Council since 1990. Even more have promoted literacy in their community. We want to celebrate these people over the next year. Please help us to create a list of Friends of Literacy by contacting us with their name and why you think they are a Friend of Literacy.  READ MORE ➤➤

Habits of a Good Reader

While Habits of a Good Reader videos are not a Hancock Literacy program, we work closely with other agencies to make these videos available to everyone. These videos give parents access to understand and use the reading terminology teachers are using at school, allowing parents to use the same terms at home. This provides consistency for the child.  WATCH 01:16
