Ozark Literacy Council, Inc. in partnership with the Washington County, Arkansas community provides a quality literacy environment which enables individuals to learn the skills necessary for them to become contributing members of society and meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. We provide instruction and resources for those interested in learning and improving reading skills and English as a second language (ESL) skills. Our tutors are volunteers who offer their time for one on one instruction. Our small group classes give students a chance to learn and improve conversational English, spelling, pronunciation, grammar and writing skills. We also have a variety of computer software which allows students extra practice in the learning process. Please view our class schedule or contact us for more information on getting started. If you are interested in volunteering, please check out our workshop dates.
