Our volunteer-based organization provides free literacy skills assessment and instruction in St. Johns and Putnam Counties to individuals 16 years of age and older. In addition to one-on-one literacy tutoring, Learn to Read has expanded its services throughout the counties to help people learn English as a second language (ESOL) through personal tutoring and group conversation courses.

Learn to Read believes literacy skills are vital for people to find work and to participate in their community. We tutor our students to pass the GED, the CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Students Assessment Systems) test, and to achieve advancement in the workplace. Learn to Read depends on your support to purchase the books and other necessary teaching materials, as well as maintain the facility in which we operate. Your support is paramount to helping decrease barriers to employment and higher education that prevent our students from moving forward.

Mission Statement: “To be the area’s principal organization for providing individualized education in fundamental verbal, written, mathematical and technological skills for persons 16 years and older to remove barriers to employment and higher education, improve quality of life, and prepare for community and civic participation.”
