The DeSoto Literacy Council assists the residents of this and surrounding counties with Basic Adult Literacy and GED/HiSet preparation.
Services
The DeSoto County Literacy Council (DCLC) offers tutoring for adults who want to increase their basic reading skills. Every literacy student is given a diagnostic assessment in reading. This assessment provides valuable information regarding the student's strengths and needs in the four components of reading.
DCLC provides GED/HiSet preparatory classes in anticipation of students taking the exams. The GED/HiSet programs serve students 17 years or older who have not received a high school diploma. DCLC provides all necessary materials to prepare students for the GED/HiSet exams.
All services at DCLC are provided at no cost to the students.
