Local Business Spotlight: Anne Arundel County Literacy Council
Manage episode 451676410 series 3562851
One of the easiest websites to remember has to be ICanRead.org and it belongs to a local non-profit helping adults improve their literacy. Today, Jane Seiss, the Executive Director of the Anne Arundel County Literacy Council joins us to to explain it all.
Imagine a world where you could not read! Job applications, medical instructions, road signs, books, tests, the list goes on. In that world, to coin a cliché, "it's all Greek to you." And there are many reasons why someone cannot read or be an emerging reader.
Jane and her small army of volunteer tutors invade our libraries and jails to make sure as many adults as possible can discover the joy (and necessity) of reading. And find out how you can join in the effoert!
Have a listen!
