This project aims to organize Nobiin literacy classes for native speakers in any location where a community of Nobiin speakers exist. Through this project NLS opens literacy classes and the students learn of how to read and write Nobiin using NLS nobiin agii orthography which is based on Old Nubian Script. The academic secretariat of NLS (ASNLS) published a special book for this course. Moreover, ASNLS trains teachers, who are chosen as the best leaners in these classes, to carry on the activities to spread the culture of writing and reading which is considered a key factor to

factor to preserve the language in the society.  NLS has managed to organize more than fifty literacy classes inside and outside Nubia. Recently it has successfully managed to open literacy classes in three states in USA: VA, MD, and PA.

Due to Covid-19 we are running all classes virtually, through our face-book page ( https://www.facebook.com/nlsnubia).
