Turning Pages SC - Adult Literacy Council

Description

Founded in 1968 as the Greater Columbia Literacy Council, Turning Pages SC has helped over 6,000 adults live easier in a text-based society.

We believe in a world where anyone can move up and ahead through the power of reading. So, we teach adults to read through personalized, one-on-one tutoring that is free of cost. We gift over 50 hours of private tutoring annually plus all books to adults reading below a 9th grade level in Richland, Lexington, and Aiken Counties of South Carolina

We train volunteer tutors, give them no-cost curriculum kits, and assign them to adult learners in need of reading help. Pairs commit to meeting one hour per week until they complete 24 sessions. Tutoring takes place at one of 29 local libraries across three counties.

Reading growth is reassessed by Turning Pages SC after 24 sessions.
