UNC-TV’s Diane Lucas hosts Education Forum, Saturday, February 6, at 10:30 AM, as literacy experts—from college and university professors to literacy providers—come together to share a wealth of knowledge for parents and teachers. From free and low cost reading and literacy resources to how to connect to groups in your neighborhood that can help someone you know become a reader—learn how to tap into what our state already offers. From young children to senior adults, literacy is the key to lifelong learning.
