Imagine not being able to read and then face the challenges of everyday life.  An ability that we take for granted is an incredible challenge for those who don’t have the literacy skills needed to be successful.  Put yourself in their shoes, and then try to face these simple tasks:

  • Filling out a job application
  • Reading grocery labels
  • Understanding medication directions
  • Paying bills

It seems daunting, but there is a place for residents of Madison County to turn for help.   Project Read provides opportunities for adults to improve their reading and speaking skills.  Through one-on-one training or group sessions, Project Read tutors work with students 16 years of age and older who are not enrolled in a formal classroom program.  Additionally, our tutors work with ESL (English Second Language) students who want to improve their comprehension and use of English.

Project Read provides all services and materials free to the students.  The facility is comprised of three classrooms, a computer lab, and a quiet study area where students can take advantage of new materials and resources.  Stop by the office, and our Executive Director, Brenda Thomas, will take you on a tour of the facility.
