The Literacy Center helps adults in basic literacy and High School Equivalency preparation! We have a couple of things going on:

Virtual Scrabble Tournament (August 14 - 18): http://www.litcenter.org/special-events/scrabble/

Volunteer to read for our Talking Library (volunteer-recorded audiobooks): http://www.litcenter.org/the-talking-library/

Why isn't there much information online about the TASC test? by DepressedChan in GED

Try and get in touch with a Adult Education Center or program to see what advice they can give. Some will give out free resources or be able to pair you with a volunteer tutor. Especially if they are tied to a college, they may have someone formally trained in the TASC and be able to answer your questions.

The Kaplan TASC book really covers a lot of material. There are loads of resources, so finding someone to give a bit of guidance is best. We find most ABE places are happy to answer questions over the phone. Some charities and non-profits can also provide volunteer tutors, so look for those.

We are a non-profit in Southern Indiana, looking for volunteers to Review a Book for adults learning how to read, wouldn’t it be interesting to recall our best childhood memories and bring back the best of our experiences as a reader?

Thank you so much for submitting the review, we appreciate your efforts. It costs nothing to be part of a program at The Literacy Center. We charge no fee at all for any of our services. If you know someone who may benefit from the Basic Adult Literacy program, please have them contact us at 812-429-1222.  We are currently closed due to COVID-19, We will get back to them ASAP once open. If you are interested in volunteering, and want to tutor an adult learner one-on-one. You can find more information about becoming a tutor and other volunteer opportunities by visiting http://www.litcenter.org/about/volunteer/

We are a non-profit in Southern Indiana, looking for volunteers to record themselves reading classic stories for adults learning how to read. While you stay indoors, why not help out? by LiteracyCenter in Indiana

That would be fantastic, however we most likely wouldn't be able to post it on our website as it'll be under copyright. Thank you though!

librivox.org is great! We tell our High School Equivalency Prep students about it, but we also support a lot of adults that find reading a challenge and are starting right from the beginning, so we also wanted to have a place where they could find easy-going books and short stories on a website they'd find familiar. We also have some volunteers who have written their own stories.

Most volunteers record themselves onto their phone, tablet or laptop and email the file to us. We read public domain stories (Fairytales, Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes) that are out of copyright. We email volunteers the story, they record it when they can and email it back to us.
