I was looking for a place to learn and to grow and to pursue my dreams. I can read better and understand what I read, as well as solve math problems I couldn’t do before. It takes hard work and motivation on my part, and the Literacy Alliance provides the teachers, classes, and kindness to help people at no cost. I am so grateful and thankful for the Literacy Alliance.

Ms. B is a joy to work with. She calls me to tell me she is looking forward to our next meeting. She does not like to mess around and gets straight to work. She has some issues with consonant sounds and some different vowel pronunciations, but I am impressed with how solid of a reader she is and she can improve. I see it. She works hard. Also I feel so good doing this. I am glad I signed up.

I feel great about myself. I’m proud of myself. My kids are proud of me. My granddaughter is proud of me.

Doing this class is like trying to hit a target on the wall with darts. You try to hit the target. You miss the bullseye. But you keep trying. It will pay off!

I’m so thrilled to hear that K enjoyed our time together. I am so excited to see his progress and so happy that I have my hand in helping. He is such a special young man.

I can’t tell you how excited I am about [my students’] accomplishments – it makes all of my efforts worthwhile! I love it!

I have watched a parade of hopeful people come through my classroom and I have been awed by their courage and resiliency. They have gotten their driver’s licenses, jobs and promotions, found the confidence to leave abusive partners, read street signs and fortune cookies and medicine bottles and Bibles and business letters and textbooks and stories to children. All of this I have watched and my students have watched each other and we have all cheered.
