Handwriting Magazine
The Handwriting Magazine of the Virginia Tech Community Literacy Corps is one of our most innovative and successful outreach programs. From the date of its inception, the Handwriting Magazine has tripled in its size which now includes work from over 250 students. Each year we encourage students from local elementary schools to submit essays, artwork, poems, and stories to the Handwriting Magazine. Once we receive all the submissions, we sift through them and publish the magazine. After publication, each contributing student, teacher, and school library receives one complimentary copy to keep. This program is unique to the Literacy Corps in that we truly celebrate and honor the young authors in the local community by making their work available to the public in the Handwriting Magazine.
2008 Edition
The 2008 Edition of Handwriting Magazine features work from over 250 students from eight different schools in the Montgomery and Pulaski counties. We hope you will enjoy reading the work of these young authors.
To view this year's edition, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader©. You may download Adobe Acrobat Reader here.
