“When we started this class some of us couldn’t even write our names. All of us had left school years ago. Now with this class we are able to write a letter for the first time. Now we can do math and go to the bank to get our money to pay the bills. Before this class, we needed someone to do that for us. To be out of school for so long and come back thinking that we don’t know much, or remember anything is painful. Our teacher helped us refresh our memories, and she has helped us get back on track. It’s a feeling of happiness that is hard to explain. Thank you CEP.”

"...Literacy instructions is most effective when it involves content that speaks to the needs of social conditions of the learner."
