Annually, PBS LiteracyLink celebrates International Literacy Day (and
September as Literacy Month) by designing and launching a special Web site
"Celebrate Literacy".  This year our theme is the GED.  We want to
highlight organizations assisting adult learners in preparing for the GED
test.  Our site will also focus on how different organizations are
celebrating International Literacy Day.   The site will be launched
September 1, and will remain as a homepage feature through September 30.
After September, the site becomes a permanent part of LiteracyLink's
website.

There will be three sections to the Web site.

- How to improve literacy and GED skills in your community
- Real-life stories that may include how agencies or organizations work
with business and industry or how a person benefited as a result of
earning their GED
- The importance of literacy and the GED.

We will also highlight Governor Ruth Ann Minner (DEL). Governor Minner is
a GED graduate.  She will be our Litlinker Forum guest for September.
>From September 1-15 you will be able to email her questions and have them
answered on the website.

Please join LiteracyLink in celebrating Literacy Month and International
Literacy Day!
