The Literacy Council of Reading-Berks serves two audiences — adults and businesses — and offers classes, workshops, one-on-one tutoring, and off-site training.

When people come to us, they’re committed to making a change, and they’re ready to do the work. We have helped thousands of adults reach their goals. Our programs are proven effective and focus on four positive outcomes to ensure that our students can:

  • Read and Write Proficiently

  • Become a Productive Citizen

  • Prepare for Work

  • Achieve Success on the Job

The English Forward Training Program introduces volunteer instructors to effective ESL instruction.
