In San Diego County alone, there are more than 450,000 adults who cannot read and write well enough to take care of the everyday tasks that we take for granted. That means they can't read medicine labels, recipes, or even the guide on the television. Many cannot read to their small children, which puts the children at a disadvantage when they begin school. READ/San Diego is working every day to ma
ke a difference in those people's lives by empowering them to read. Our professional staff of literacy experts coordinates the efforts of volunteer reading tutors and cooperates with local adult schools, community colleges, and other literacy education providers in making and receiving student referrals.
