Adult Literacy Tutoring
The Adult Literacy Program works with adults 18 years of age and older to provide tutoring at no cost to the learner or tutor. The program provides a free 6-hour training course to teach volunteer tutors how to work with adults. Once enrolled, tutors will be required to submit a monthly report. Throughout the year, tutors are offered in-service training at no cost. In addition, the program provides the basic literacy materials needed for the tutoring process.
Basic English TutoringThe tutors are paired one-on-one with adult learners based on the tutor's interests (basic, intermediate, advanced reading, math, or English as a Second Language). As a Read To Succeed Adult Literacy tutor, you will meet 1 - 2 times a week for an hour or two each time with your designated learner. You will meet at a mutually convenient, public place.
ESL InstructionRead To Succeed hosts several ESL classes throughout the county for adults seeking to improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities. Locations are available in Rutherford County Tennessee. Classes are open to new students in August and classes are Sept. to May. Tutors will meet with students in a class setting and work in small groups. Classes meet for 1 1/2 hours twice a week. We also have virtual classes.
Trainings are held in person. If you wish to attend please fill out the registration form on our website www.readtosucceed.org. Contact our Adult Literacy Coordinator, TIna Welch, for more information.

Mission Statement
Read To Succeed improves lives in Rutherford County by offering free literacy programs and events for adults and children. Read To Succeed supports this mission by fostering literacy partnerships between providers, educators, community helpers and business owners, creating events and programming to promote literacy and providing resources such as the Literacy Center and this website.
Description
Read To Succeed was established in the summer of 2003. Paul Vaughan, Managing Director of the Jennings and Rebecca Jones Foundation, met with professionals who were involved in literacy programs in Murfreesboro. He offered the Foundation's resources as support to a new community literacy initiative and this group of dedicated educators, social workers, agency directors, community helpers and volunteers became the Read To Succeed Council. This community partnership was created to promote reading in Rutherford County, with emphasis on family literacy. Read to Succeed sponsors Reading in the Schools Day, Unplug and Read, Read To Bee, and Reader Training as part of its community initiative.
