Welcome to the new website of Skyline Literacy! We’re a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting learning and literacy throughout the Shenandoah Valley.

If you’re a first-time visitor, be sure to look at our About Us page to learn about our mission and services. Maybe you’ll want to Get Involved as a volunteer!

If you’re returning, make sure to have a look at our calendar of events and recent news.

Note For Tutors: It seems that some of the web forms are not working on the old site due to the move. Please be patient — the Tutor Blog will be coming soon, with all that functionality and more. For the time being, you can manually report your information via e-mail, or send it by the Comments box.

Today’s Library Pick

September 16, 2008 By: skyline Category: News

The Crossroads Cafe video series is available for tutors to borrow from Skyline Literacy’s library.  The videos are for high-beginner, low-intermediate ESL students.  They are divided into 26 lessons, each lasting about 30 minutes.  Each program deals with the story of the cafe and its six characters.  The story of the cafe is interrupted by a Culture Clip section, which looks at aspects of American culture, and a Word Play section, which reviews the new language focus.  These videos would be a great resource for tutors to help students integrate lessons with conversation.   Lesson plans are also available.  So come by and check out these videos as well as our many other library resources!
