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.

The Literacy Program is for English speakers. The library does not offer ESL courses. If you are looking for ESL courses, contact the Riverside Adult School at (951) 788-7185. RAS programs include high school diploma, GED preparation, English as a Second Language (ESL), a variety of vocational programs, older adult classes, basic skills instruction, and independent study (for diploma courses).

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.
