LITERACY TODAY | May/June 2020 | literacyworldwide.org
And the Winner Is…
Congratulations to Mary Morgan, the winner of our
ILA 2020 Poster Design Contest! Mary is a literacy
consultant and an English as a second language
teacher at Lincoln Performing Arts Magnet School
in Kentucky. For the contest, we asked educators to
tap into their creativity and show us their vision for
literacy by answering the question: What does literacy
mean to you?

evidence, and are done
only when necessary.
