Perhaps the most exciting feature of the Literacy Now blog is the ability to share stories, whether they are informational, motivational or inspirational, with all of you. But they are not just our stories, they are yours. Please take a moment to choose one of our three questions and tell us your story. Maybe you have a quaint recollection of the person who taught you to read. Perhaps you want to share how and why you became involved with family literacy.

RSS is a way for you to subscribe to the Literacy Now blog and receive notifications when there’s something new to see. The feed, or notification when something new is on the blog, is available via email or in a feed reader like Google Reader or Bloglines.
