The READ Center

Program Overview

Learning to read as an adult is complex, and our students have often had limited success in school. READ meets students where they are
and helps them attain their literacy and life goals.

The READ Center provides classroom instruction, one-to-one tutoring, and community programs to adults who want to improve their reading, writing, basic math and digital skills.

Our students guide our programs. They are creative, resourceful, determined, brave and humble. They learn by experience with content that must be relevant. The material they read is applicable to real life situations. They are treated with respect, and our team understands
barriers the students may be facing.

We utilize the Wilson Language System as our core curriculum which is rooted in the science of reading. Our curriculum includes phonics,
comprehension, vocabulary and fluency for adults reading below an 8th grade equivalency.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

From a Student:

"[The READ Center] has helped me pronounce words and to seek out other words that I might not have tried to use. I thank the tutors for their patience and willingness to help with a glad heart. It means a lot to me, being a student."

From a Volunteer:

"I volunteer because reading has been a blessing in my life, and I enjoy sharing my passion with others who hope to feel the same comfort and joy with books. Volunteers feel that we receive more than we give."
