What is Project Read?

Welcome to Project READ Literacy Network.

We are a doorway to literacy and Essential Skills services offered in our region. We develop, in collaboration with the local Literacy & Basic Skills (LBS) agencies, training solutions to meet the literacy needs of our citizens. Members of our network include literacy agencies, English as a second language programs, libraries, employment training organizations, and other concerned individuals and groups. Project READ provides many services to the public and to our network members. Check out "What We Do" for more information.

We believe that literacy and Essential Skills are necessary to function independently to reach an individual's full potential. Low literacy affects many aspects of life including health, income, employment, parenting, education or training and daily living. Literacy and Essential Skills include:

  • Reading Text

  • Document Use

  • Writing

  • Numeracy or Math

  • Thinking Skills

  • Oral Communications

  • Working With Others

  • Computer Use

  • Continuous Learning
