Plain Language Services:

The Literacy Alliance provides editing services to ensure public communication materials can be understood by the intended audience regardless of individual literacy levels. 

Plain language is easy to read and understand. It is so clear; the reader can take in the writer's exact message in one reading. What is clear to your reader varies by intended audience. Clear writing, effective organization and inviting presentation are all keys to creating readable documents.

About Us:

The Literacy Alliance was established in 2002 as the result of a comprehensive community planning process. We are a multi-stakeholder organization whose partners include business, government, education, service providers, faith leaders, advocates and adult learners.

We support organizations that provide adult literacy services:

  • We have 20 AmeriCorps teachers and tutors working in 13 programs in 3 parishes.
  • We provide professional development and training for literacy providers.
  • We annually host a regional GED graduation for over 100 graduates in 3 parishes.

We work to bring more resources for adult literacy into the region:

  • We do outreach events and media to educate the public on the importance of literacy.
  • We initiate advocacy and public policy activities on issues that affect literacy.
  • We help ensure that public documents are written in easy to understand language.
