If you are an adult who needs help with reading and writing, these classes are for you!  Some of our students want to learn to read so they can get a better job.  Other students want to help their children with homework.  Some of our students can read a little, but are afraid to write emails at work because their writing isn't strong.  It does not matter how much or how little you can read and write, we will start where you are and help you improve your skills and abilities.

Our lessons are designed so that adults of all reading levels can participate.  Whether you are just learning the alphabet, or if you can already read a little but want to improve, we can help!  You will learn new vocabulary, practice reading short stories, and writing about what you read.  We also work together to read longer books based on what the students are interested in reading.  In the past, we have read Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Power of Having Fun, based on student suggestions.

When and where do classes meet?

Classes are offered free of charge to all students. Students are asked to make a $25 donation, once a year, if they can afford it. These donations go toward the purchase of supplies used in class.
