Literacy Minnesota’s Post

Literacy Minnesota (formerly Minnesota Literacy Council) began in 1972 when a group of volunteers realized if one person taught someone to read, and that person taught someone to read, they could create a movement. Today, Literacy Minnesota has grown to include six learning centers; thousands of tutors trained per year; hundreds of curriculum downloads per month; AmeriCorps members working on literacy initiatives across the state and a digital literacy learning platform, Northstar, utilized in nearly all states and several countries. Literacy Minnesota is now recognized as a local and national leader and a driving force behind the latest developments in literacy learning. We continue to build a movement of learners, educators, literacy advocates and organizations in pursuit of a world where life-changing learning is within everyone’s reach.

Last week, our President Anton Jones spoke with KARE 11 about current K-12 reading levels, highlighting the importance of parental collaboration and how literacy learning at a family level can increase room for growth. With National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week around the corner, Literacy Minnesota advocates for creating spaces to strengthen literacy skills at every age level. #aeflmn
