Description:
Offers a literacy program to English-speaking adults, age 16 or over, living in the area served, who speak English and have a desire to learn to read and write better. The program aims to bring adult learners to a functional reading level (or to the level they need and desire for their daily living) and then to refer them to other educational resources in the community.
