ProLiteracy's
National Book Fund® provides adult literacy and basic education programs
with instructional materials to help teach adults to read and write. More than
470,000 adults, youth, and children have improved their reading skills as a
result of ProLiteracy’s National Book Fund®.
New Readers Press, the publishing division of ProLiteracy,
provides the books and materials for the grant program. These high-quality
instructional materials are specially written to meet the needs of adult
literacy students, instructors, and trainers.
Additionally, the National Book Fund has provided more than
60,000 instructors with the capacity-building resources they need to provide
direct literacy instruction to students and impact their community.
“There are 43 million adults in the United States who lack
basic education and literacy skills. These individuals are some of the most
vulnerable people in our society, and many were among the first to lose their
jobs during the economic downturn of the pandemic,” said Kevin Morgan,
president and CEO of ProLiteracy. “While adult literacy programs are unsure of
future funding sources, the National Book Fund® is one of the ways that
ProLiteracy is committed to helping local adult literacy programs each year.” READ
