Description
This issue of Illinois Literacy illustrates how literacy programs in the state are addressing the needs of some of those 20 million adults and effectively targeting various demographic groups in need of services. State grants were recently awarded to help local literacy programs reach out to adults and families, and a new program in Chicago targets the Hispanic community. Without dedicated volunteers and literacy advocates, these programs would not be the success stories they are today. Also included are a few suggested themes to energize Family Reading Night events.
