Reading Connections helps adults learn to read, write, speak and listen better.  Our students work one-on-one with a tutor or in a small group based on their needs and skills.  We want to help our students get good jobs and be good parents and neighbors. 

Adult Education
Our Adult Education program helps people (who can speak English) become better readers and writers.  We have some students who cannot read at all and others who just need a little extra help. 

ESOL
ESOL is English for Speakers of Other Languages.  This program helps adults learn to speak, read and write in English.  We have students from all over the world who speak many different languages and who want to learn English.

GED
The GED is a group of tests that someone can take if they did not get a high school diploma.  When you pass all five tests, you get a GED, which is a lot like a diploma.  We help people study for the GED.

Computers
Lots of jobs and schools need people to know about computers.  Reading Connections has a computer lab to help students learn about computers.  Plus, if you learn to use a computer, it can help you to read better.

Family Literacy
Many people come to Reading Connections because they want to be able to read to their children or help their kids with homework.  Reading Connections has small group classes for moms, dads, and other caregivers who want to improve reading and writing skills to teach your children.
