We’re excited to announce that our fifth annual BOOK FAIR will happen at Annapolis Mall on Saturday, September 27. See below for more information.
The book fair supports our free adult education programs. The need for Literacy Council services continues…
Fifty-nine million adults in the United States read at the lowest level. Anne Arundel County’s low-literacy rate among adults 16 and older is 15%.
Why do so many of us, about one in three nationwide, struggle with this challenge? Among the causes are poverty and learning differences, even a lack of diagnoses. Read findings and insights on the causes of low literacy on ProLiteracy’s website.
A 15% low-literacy rate in a county where schools are known for excellence is not something we have to accept. This is why we assess and welcome new students to our programs week after week.
Thank you for helping us reach and tutor more students every year.
Best summer wishes,
Jane
