Each learner comes for different reasons.
But, for all of them, courage shines through.
We can’t share their identity…
But we can share their heart!
Here’s a spotlight on just one of our learners:
“Born in Alabama and with just a 10th-grade education, this 50something female seeks a less physically demanding work and improve her spelling. With a background in manufacturing, she has a keen interest in singing and solving crosswords. She just finished her GED and has an impressive internalized vocabulary but aims to enhance her phonics abilities to further her learning journey.”

Follow along each week as we list out some common traits you’ll notice in adults who struggle with reading.
