Raising literacy levels is important, but just as important and more meaningful are the outcomes that result from learning to read and write — outcomes that empower individuals to make changes in their lives, in their workplaces, and in their communities.
If you’d like to learn how to read, write, or spell English better, Literacy Volunteers of Washington County can help!
Here are just a few things that learning to read and write better can help you do:
- Study for your high school diploma or GED (now called HiSet)
- Read to your children
- Write a note or letter to your child’s teacher
- Read your mail, prescription bottles, recipes, product labels
- Get a better job or improve at your current one
- Read the paper: in print or online
- Read books that interest you
- Get your driver’s license
- Prepare for the U.S. citizenship test
- Speak and comprehend English better
