LVSC : Making a Difference
LVSC trained approximately 60 new tutors during our current fiscal year of 2007-2008. In all, we've helped 150 students during this year.
Do You Know the Facts about Literacy?
According to the National Adult Literacy Survey, approximately 44 million people in the United States cannot read well enough to fill out an application, read a food label, or read a simple story to a child.
$5 billion a year in taxes goes to support people receiving public assistance who are unemployable due to illiteracy.
Nearly 10,000 Sussex County residents over the age of 18 do not have a high school diploma.
Among the growing immigrant population in Sussex County, approximately 3,000 residents feel isolated or limited by language communications problems.
"Literacy - It's not just about reading anymore."
