LITERACY is an individual's ability to read, write, speak in English, compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job, in the family of the individual, and in society.
Our Mission is to promote life long learning and to help individuals improve their language communication, reading, writing, math, and life skills base. We encourage our students to not only improve their academic experience, but work to foster a better quality of life for themselves, their families—at home, at work, in school, and in the larger community.BLUEGRASS LITERACY'S SCRABBLETHONS
