Adult Literacy Hotline Overview

Adult Literacy Hotline Overview

The Adult Literacy Hotline is a hotline funded by the Minnesota Department of Education that helps prospective learners find ABE classes in their area. The hotline is staffed by Literacy Minnesota and is a public website where all the input comes directly from the Minnesota ABE database, SiD. When classes open or close, or location details are changed in SiD, they are immediately* reflected on the hotline.

*Due to caching, there is a delay of up to an hour from the time changes are made in SiD until they appear on the hotline.

SiD users with admin level privileges maintain hotline details. Local programs can choose which ABE locations and classes to show in the search results.

If you are new to the Adult Literacy Hotline here is a short video by the SiD Support team explaining how to best search using the hotline:

The Adult Literacy Hotline is a great resource for prospective students as well as ABE staff who help students find classes that their program may not currently offer.
