Literacy Matters is a publication of Literacy Nassau, Inc., featuring updates on the organization's progress, including the construction of a new building and the use of newspapers as an ESL resource. The new building is nearing completion, with walls up, plumbing installed, and electrical work done, thanks to donors and volunteers. A volunteer work day with MSC Industrial Supply Co. helped refinish old chalkboards. The organization's executive director, Karen Micciche, shares her personal experience with her dyslexic daughter and the importance of the tutoring center opening soon. The newsletter also highlights the use of newspapers in ESL classes, with students subscribing to the L.I. Herald and using it for research projects and learning about the publishing process.
