literacy program
Teaching adults reading
A literacy program is an organized effort to teach reading and writing skills, typically to adults or children who lack basic proficiency.
These programs range from community volunteer initiatives to government-funded campaigns: The library runs a free literacy program for immigrants.
Some target specific populations—prisoners, rural communities, or speakers of other languages learning English.
