Adult Literacy Program Kirkwood's Adult Literacy Program provides reading instruction to adults from beginning literacy to high school skill levels. This program evaluates a student's reading level, then builds a plan of instruction based on the individual's learning style, needs, and goals. Reading skills are taught in the context of situations encountered by adults in everyday life and work.
Instruction consists of private sessions taught by volunteer tutors.
This program is provided free to adults who have not completed high school. Instruction is provided at no charge to the student. English as a Second Language Volunteer tutors are available to foreign-born students. Structured classes are also available at the Iowa City and Lincoln Learning Centers.
