About the Literacy Program

Through RPL's Literacy Program, trained volunteer tutors provide one-on-one tutoring to English-speaking adults who want to improve their reading, writing and computer skills. Adults with young children are encouraged to participate in our Families for Literacy program.

If you're interested in volunteering as a literacy tutor, call us at (951) 779-9204.

Adult Literacy Program

Adults can improve their reading, writing and computer skills through our Adult Literacy Program. Adults are carefully matched with trained volunteers and usually meet with their tutors weekly to improve their reading skills. English-speaking adults that read below high-school level should call us at (951) 779-9204 or visit our office for more information. We strongly recommend that participants meet weekly with a tutor, and set aside additional time to practice at home.

Families for Literacy

In our Families For Literacy program, parents who have young children are eligible to receive free children's books, and attend special story times and parenting workshops. The goal of Families for Literacy is to provide additional support for adults who care for children five years of age and younger. Parents interested in participating in this program should call us at (951) 352-7578 or visit our office for more information.
