BEING LITERATE MAKES CENTS!
When adults struggle with literacy, they struggle with so many other aspects of life. It is hard to sustain a job or earn enough to cover basic living expenses; it is difficult to support a child’s education, and it is hard to do just about everything from reading bills, to understanding leases, to following a prescription.
Kleberg County Adult Literacy Council is here to partner with adults in our community who face these struggles every day. Through our basic literacy tutoring, English language learning, and Pre-HSE prep programs, we service those adults eighteen and older with limited reading, writing and or English-speaking skills.
