Helping One Student at a Time
According to Montes and Johnson of the Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA) (2005), based on the U.S. Census Bureau. 2004 ACS Congressional Toolkit (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Census Bureau, 2004), "San Antonio's illiteracy rate has fluctuated between 10.51 percent and 13.82 percent in the period 2000 to 2003." They state that "With a 12.47 percent rate in 2003, San Antonio had more than 90,000 people who were illiterate."
Project Learn to Read of San Antonio works to lower San Antonio's illiteracy rate by helping one student at a time. We offer testing, tutoring, and small class opportunities for adults who read at a level of 5th grade and below. If you are interested in becoming a student or in helping us by being a volunteer, tutor, or donor, please call us at (210) 223-5687 or click here. We look forward to working with you!
