This fun and innovative Essential Skills program is designed to increase your digital knowledge by using Chromebooks and other devices and introduces adult readers to audiobooks, and e-readers while exploring culture, history, travel, current events, food, and more through the lens of the selected books. The group will also get to try new recipes together, eat, journal, chat, and share. Print copies of the books will be available as well.
ESMV Literacy offers blended learning opportunities, meaning you can work from home, in class, or some of both. Our instructors can offer classes face to face, through zoom, and can keep in touch with email, text, and phone calls. We know that for some people transportation and childcare can get in the way of your goals. If this sounds like you, get in touch with us. We can help!
