The demands of our workplaces and our world are changing every day. Brush up on your skills. Encourage others to be lifelong learners. Support your friends, family members, and neighbors who are improving their skills - whether it be reading and writing, getting a diploma or GED, or learning to program computers. Read with your child.
Studies show that parents are the most important teachers of their children.
Children learn the importance of reading from those closest to them. Volunteer to tutor. Many literacy programs are small and depend on the involvement of local community members. They are glad to provide training to potential volunteers. Volunteer to support an education program in other ways.
