Coast Literacy Program for Adults

Coast Literacy Program for Adults

FORTY PERCENT of adult Americans have trouble reading and writing simple things. They cannot fill out a job application, read traffic signs, read election ballots or read the prescription on medications. They cannot understand a bus schedule, a newspaper article, product labels or read to a child. There are no typical non-readers; they can be anyone, any age and any occupation.
Difficulty with reading is a problem that can be solved; adults receiving as little as 35 to 45 hours of tutoring can improve reading skills a full grade level.
The Coast Literacy Program for Adults is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. We offer free, personal tutoring in English reading and writing. Learners and Tutors agree to meet for an hour, once a week for 6 months at the library. This can be modified as desired.
