Meet and Greet

We have decided to introduce a new feature article in new issues of First-Time Readers. We want to give learners throughout the province a chance to introduce themselves to other learners. The students you meet in this issue attend the Literacy Outreach Centre, College of the North Atlantic, at Grand Falls-Windsor. If you would like to introduce yourself in a future issue, please send us a recent picture of yourself and a short message. Our mailing address is printed on the back page.
