Inspiring Voices
Hearing from individuals who have been in situations similar to ours can be a powerful force for motivation, inspiration, and perseverance. You can connect your learner to these stories as part of your reading practice lessons.
Here are a couples of places to start your search for local learner voices:
- - San Francisco’s Project Read features several stories by learners in each of its newsletters.

- - Contra Costa Library’s Project Second Chance also provides stories on its web site. The program has also created videos featuring learner stories.
