Valdez Literacy Council
The Valdez Literacy Council would like to extend an invitation to Valdez community members to join our membership. We are a local council of Alaska Statewide Literacy Association (ASLA) and are fully affiliated with the International Literacy Association (ILA).
Our goals are to:
· Bring published authors into the community to share their work and expertise in school events and workshops.
· Provide a platform for local literacy talent to shine in our homegrown Family Reading Nights, such as “Reading Under the Stars” or “Food for Thought.”
· Organize and facilitate the fall Scholastic Book Fair.
· Promote the importance of literacy and critical literacy skills for our youth and community members.
· Provide opportunities for professional development for teachers through the Alaska Statewide Literacy Association conferences.
