The Teacher Who Couldn't Read: John Corcoran's Story
Illiteracy is a challenge that no single agency can solve.
40-44 million adults in the U.S. demonstrate skills in the lowest level of prose, document, and quantitative proficiencies. Many are unable to total an entry on a deposit slip, locate the time and place on a meeting form, or identify a piece of specific information in a brief news article. (ProLiteracy Worldwide)
In Oswego County, close to 17,000 adults cannot read above a 5th Grade level.
It takes the team effort of many individuals, government agencies, non-profits, businesses, and educators to meet that challenge.
The Literacy Coalition of Oswego County empowers our community to build literacy in a collaborative, inclusive and comprehensive manner.
Join us!
See how you or your organization can mean a better life for the thousands of people in Oswego County who need to read.
