Dedicated to positively impacting the lives of adults through improved literacy.
Imagine not being able to read this message – or not being able to read the newspaper, a book, a map, a menu or the many things most of us take for granted every day!
A national assessment of adult literacy done in 2003 estimated that 8 percent or more of Muskegon County’s population lack basic prose literacy skills equating to nearly 14,000 people in Muskegon County alone (based on July 2008 population estimate of 174,344, Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division). For suggestions on how to talk to someone with literacy difficulties, see our page on “Literacy.”
