Words on the Page: Literacy Chicago Students Writings
Since 1992, Words on the Page has celebrated adults actively pursuing higher levels of literacy. Each year, Literacy Chicago publishes a compilation of essays written by students from all classes. Students are asked to write on a specific theme for each book. These books demonstrate our students'educational achievements, their thoughts and their ideas. Essays are published exactly as written by our students, except for minor punctuation additions! At our annual book launch celebration students come together and read their essays outloud to their friends, family and fellow students. It is a wonderful and moving event during which tears of joy are shed and our whole Literacy Chicago community comes together to honor and recognize our students.
All of our books can be purchased on Amazon.
