Overview:
The Literacy Council of Kingsport was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit organization dedicated to serving citizens in Kingsport and Sullivan County. The Council offers free, one-on-one tutoring for adults and qualified children who want to learn to read or to improve their reading skills. A trained volunteer tutor is assigned to work with each student at a location and time that meets the needs and schedules of the student and tutor.
One-on-one instruction allows each student to progress at his or her own pace. Tutors also work with students on achieving individual goals, such as learning to read the Bible, getting a driver's license, getting a job, or learning how to manage a checking account. Upon completion of the program, students have a firm base of literacy skills with which to pursue further educational goals, such as earning a GED.
The council also offers an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Program to teach adult speakers of other languages to read, write, speak and understand English.
