More than 48 million adults in the United States cannot read, write, or do basic math above a third-grade level. By increasing adult literacy rates, we positively affect poverty, K-12 test scores, economic prosperity, emotional and physical health, and other social issues. Lee County LITERACY COALITION offers FREE one-to-one tutoring for ADULTS in reading, writing, math, computer, and GED preparation with financial, health and digital/workplace literacy workshops. Additional programs include ESL services and family literacy. 

​

Literacy is understanding, evaluating, using and engaging with written texts to participate in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential.

Between 2017 and 2023, there were increases in the percentages of adults performing at the lowest proficiency level (Level 1 or below) in both literacy and numeracy. 

Be the change that you wish to see in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi​
