Adult Education Class

Program Overview

The Clay County Public Library System partners with The Literacy Alliance of Northeast Florida which serves any adult in the region over the age of 16 who wants to improve their literacy skills. Their students usually have a goal in mind when they enroll. Often, they want to improve their skills to find a job, get promoted at work, or gain a career license. Just as often, they have more personal goals such as engaging with their faith, reading the newspaper, or reading with their children and grandchildren. Whatever goal they have in mind, they have a program that will help them achieve it and succeed.

Their Adult Education program is designed to support students in improving their reading, writing, math, or computer literacy skills. Adult education students are typically native English speakers who were unable to graduate from high school, or high school graduates who find that they need to improve their basic literacy skills. In order to best serve learners, they utilize an individualized approach that keeps their goals at the center of instruction. This approach includes a combination of small group classes, computer-based instruction including smartphone apps, and one on one tutoring with a trained volunteer. Instruction takes place on a weekly basis with students attending sessions depending on their schedule.
