K.C. Marshall Global.

READING IS ESSENTIAL AND LITERACY IS POWER!

MISSION:

The mission I have accepted is to create a village of caring educators that are passionate about improving reading and literacy skills across the U.S.A. The tutorials will begin with alphabet recognition and writing then progressing to very basic phonics and sentence structure.

PURPOSE:

The purpose is to create free access to a self-paced, basic reading skill(s) tutorial program. The tutorials will contain demonstrations that are highly illustrative, and easy to follow. The tutorials will also help students to identify their personal needs and place extra attention on those areas. They will be free for all people regardless of age, race, or economic background, that have previously been embarrassed or ashamed to admit their literacy needs. These tutorials will make it private, fun, and convenient to improve reading skills.
