Words on the Page: Literacy Chicago Students Writings

Since 1992, Words on the Page has celebrated adults actively pursuing higher levels of literacy. Literacy Chicago’s Words on the Page is an annual event where adult learners read their own writing at a celebration with their friends, family and fellow students. By doing so, they demonstrate their educational achievements and, more importantly, take pride in their courageous  efforts to openly address problems with literacy in their individual lives and the wider community. Literacy Chicago publishes a compilation of the essays written by students from all classes. It reflects the hard work and diversity of our students and the need for literacy services in Chicago.​
WORDS ON THE PAGE CELEBRATION 2019
2019's edition of Word on the Page is about the future. What will life be like in 2050? Read our students stories about how they envision their lives and the world around them. 
You can purchase this book at our office or on Amazon here.
