Literacy Link - Leamos

We provide free one-to-one tutoring to Grant County adults with low-level literacy skills (3rd-6th grade level). We offer one-to-one tutoring and very small classes in basic literacy, math and computer skills; English as a Second Language, Citizenship and High School Equivalency preparation. We also run programs for detainees at the county jail, provide some tutoring for children, and distribute about 20,000 new, age-appropriate books to Grant County elementary school children each year.

LLL Unbound: This project serves people incarcerated at the Grant County Detention Center. We provide classes in Poetry and Parenting, both of which provide opportunities for self-reflection and improvement in writing, reading and interpersonal communication skills. Our Read2Me program connects incarcerated parents to their children, who are not allowed to visit at the jail. Each inmate chooses a children’s book to read, and we record this and send the DVD and the book to the child’s home.

Although we primarily serve adults, we do some tutoring for K-12 children. And every year our Let's Read program provides about 20,000 new books to Grant County elementary school children, who otherwise may not have any books in their homes.
