SDPL READ/Literacy Services READ/San Diego is a free literacy instruction service supporting adults and families.

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 make 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.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a new read! Alberto Salas Plays Paka Paka Con la Papa immerses readers in the land of Peru and introduces them to one of its notable scientists, Alberto Salas, as he searches for rare potato species in the Andes. 🥔⛰️
Books like this are a wonderful way to introduce children to different cultures, countries, and the important figures who come from them. Learn more about Peru and its traditions during the September 25th Family Literacy Program on YouTube!🇵🇪🦙
