Changing lives through literacy since 1989.
Free adult literacy and education classes in Lubbock and the surrounding communities.
Our Mission
Literacy Lubbock’s mission is to support and execute programs that enable people to become literate. Because we believe literacy and education should be available and accessible to all.
Our Programs
We provide free classes, tutors, and resources to our students in three primary areas: GED Test Preparation, English as a Second Language, and Adult Basic Education. We also give away free children’s books and host the annual Lubbock Book Festival.
GED Test Preparation
Earn your GED with our flexible classroom times and personal study plans! Whether you need help with Language Arts, Science, Math, or Social Studies, we have tutors to help you at your pace.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, we have English language classes, tutors, and conversation groups for you. Master the English language and learn how to speak, understand, write, and read English.
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Learn basic reading, writing, and/or math and reach your educational goals with our free, one-on-one tutors. Need specialized curriculum? We have both dyslexic and non-dyslexic options available.
Early Childhood & Family Literacy
Spark a life-long love of reading by attending one of our Tiny Tots story-times, children’s events, family literacy talks, or the Lubbock Book Festival! It’s never too early to love a good book.

Pursue your education. It's never too late to learn. I'm 65 years old. It's not easy for someone my age, but I will not ever give up.
— Robert, GED Student

When I'm talking with people in English, and they tell me: "You speak well, I can understand you!" then I feel very good. It gives me more motivation to continue learning English.
