Help Teach Reading

Kitchen Table Tutoring 
Want to improve the reading skills of everyone in your household? The Metro East Literacy Project (MELP) offers reading tutoring for adults and children. We meet you where you are—right at your kitchen table. Tutoring services are free or offered on a sliding scale. Contact Ms. Linda today to schedule your Kitchen Table Tutoring consultation. Call (618) 558-8527 or email [email protected]. Visit our website at www.metroeastliteracyproject.org. Our motto is “Literacy is Liberation! It takes you higher.” 

​ "I learn new words when you come. I learn new things about words. I learn how to sound out more words."

"The tutoring from the Metro East Literacy Project has made such a difference at Michelle's Place. One student came in barely able to read simple words, and now she's confidently reading simple books on her own. It's amazing to watch her growth.
Michelle Wright, owner of Michelle's Place Child Care Center

Help in the Storage Unit

Our volunteers help unload boxes of books, then sort, label, and pack them into our branded tote bags. We give these bags of books to families in our community. Come join the fun. This is a great service project for your organization. Sign up below. 

O'Fallon Township High School athletes assisted MELP in loading bags of books for book giveaways.
