School District of Palm Beach County Offers  

"Read to Succeed" Adult Literacy Program  

 

The School District of Palm Beach County's Department of Adult and Community Education is boosting the national initiative to eradicate illiteracy through "Read to Succeed", a literacy program for adults who read poorly -- or not at all.  Winter term classes will be held at the Delray Full Service School, beginning January 20, 2015.   

 

Turning the stigma and embarrassment of illiteracy into a triumphant victory for each student is a key goal of "Read to Succeed".  Instructors and staff members are trained in the unique sensitivity needs of students with reading problems.  During the 3-hour class sessions, students enjoy 30 minutes of one-on-one tutoring as well as additional reinforcement activities on a daily basis.

"Read to Succeed" was primarily developed to assist students who enroll in GEDpreparation courses, yet do not have the reading skills to make significant learning gains or keep up with the rest of their classmates.  The program's design and curriculum selection is specifically chosen for its flexibility to accommodate the needs of common reading disabilities.
