LEARN TO READ WITH THE MORONGO BASIN ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM
Did you know that more than 23 million Americans over the age of 16 are functionally illiterate, and that 1 out of 5 adults reads very poorly or cannot read at all? Staggering statistics, but you can help, by volunteering to teach someone to read, or you can be helped through the efforts of the Morongo Basin Coalition for Adult Literacy. Their goal is to provide instruction to adults who cannot read. Learning how to read will assist them in succeeding in a society where the ability to read is a prerequisite to almost every type of personal achievement. To get involved as a volunteer tutor, or if you need help learning to read, or know someone who needs help, call the Morongo Basin Coalition for Adult Literacy at 367-1146, or visit your local branch library for more information.
