For more than 100,000 of DC’s adults, low literacy skills are a barrier to
just about everything – completing their education, getting and
keeping a decent job, and staying out of poverty.
The Washington Literacy Center removes the barrier by teaching basic skills – word attack (sounding things out), fluency (reading at a proper pace),
and comprehension (understanding and thinking critically) to
adults who read below a fifth grade level.
