Level up your literacy with digital skills!

In our world, technology is everywhere. It is essential for adult learners to gain digital literacy skills to succeed in work, school, and daily life.

Alaska Literacy Program offers digital literacy classes, and there are other community resources to enhance your digital literacy skills, such as the public library.

Some activities to enhance your digital literacy skills include:
A typing challenge - practice your keyboard skills!
Digital safety mini-lessons
Experiment learning a new creative technology that brings joy to you
(examples: podcasts, graphic design, videography)
Research a topic that interests you

Congrats to all those who have completed or are currently pursuing their GED - you are a warrior!

Celebrate all your literacy wins and all the literacy wins of those around you.

Consider writing a thank you card to those who supported you, or a congratulations card for someone in your life who has recently had a win.

It is Taco-Bout It Tuesday! 🌮

To celebrate Adult Education and Family Literacy Week today, consider some of the following themed activities that practice your literacy skills:

• Nice to “meat” you - Introduce yourself to someone
• Read an article about different herbs and spices
• Read and share a favorite childhood story
• Write down a challenge you had to face today
• Read a story with a friend or family member- eat tacos afterwards!

We loved welcoming two former ALP students back to share a special moment with our children!

Lucero Huapaya presented a fun puppet story, "The Tortoise and the Hare," along with a talk on healthy eating. Francisco Morales read a wonderful book, "Moose in May," to the kids.

It is always inspiring to see former students return and give back to our community.

Thank you, Lucero and Francisco!
