That’s life for the 1 in 4 adults in Central Florida who reads at or below a 5th grade level. For them, simple, everyday tasks present real problems. Reading product labels, following street signs or filling out job applications can be difficult and frustrating. Families suffer, too. Parents with low literacy skills have trouble reading to their children. Many don’t even try. Sadly, the literacy levels of children are strongly linked to the educational levels of their parents.

But all hope isn’t lost for adults with low literacy. Since our founding in 1968, the Adult Literacy League has grown to provide Adult Basic Education and English for Speakers of Other Languages classes, GED preparation and one-on-one volunteer tutoring to about 2,000 students a year. Our students are getting better jobs, becoming U.S. citizens, passing the GED, taking an active role in their children’s educations and SO MANY MORE amazing milestones thanks to the generosity of folks like you.

We don’t work without the support of our awesome volunteers, friends, supporters and donors. Please consider making a gift to build a literate community with us today.
