Cookbook Literacy Project

Joplin NALA Read is publishing a kitchen reader featuring recipes and stories from our learners, tutors, staff, and friends. Writing recipes helps learners in a lot of areas: 

• Food related vocabulary
• Giving instructions
• Discussing ideas
• Having a meal together

The goals of NALA's Cookbook Literacy project are to:

• Compile and publish a kitchen reader of recipes and stories
• Help students to use their reading, writing, and vocabulary skills to give instructions
• Learn about the wide variety of people who utilize NALA's services through their recipes and stories
• Give students a sense of pride in seeing their work in print
• Provide a means by which to share the impact of Joplin NALA Read with the community
• To raise funds to grow and improve our programs

Buy a Joplin NALA Kitchen Reader
     1 for $15
or  2 for $20

All printing costs for the 2015 Kitchen Readers have been underwritten by a generous grant from the Bramlage Family Foundation. 100% of all sales of the Kitchen Readers go directly to support Joplin NALA Read Programs.

Your generosity enables the hard working adult learners in our community to meet their literacy goals.
