ProLiteracy America estmates that 30 million adults in America can read just well enough to sign a form or total a bank deposit slip, but not much more. Another 60 million read only slightly better.
 
As a result of their progress, our students tell stories of being able to help children with homework or being able to read books to them at home. Some tell us they are doing better at work -- they are able to communicate better, doing more business, serving more customers, or making more money.
 
Our tutors' stories are about being able to travel the world through interaction with their students without ever leaving the country! Others tell us about what they experience when teaching someone the joy of reading that they themselves, experience whenever they pick up a good book.

Welcome to the Fox Valley Literacy Coalition
Fox Cities
BOOK FESTIVAL
APRIL 11-18, 2010

There is something exciting and profound about the pure joy of reading.  And the Fox Cities Book Festival, in partnership with the Fox Valley Literacy Coalition, is embracing this statement.

Our mission together is not only to connect readers with their writers, but also to celebrate the privilege of reading and the opportunities it creates. This event celebrates literacy and its ability to help adults reach their full potential as parents, community members and employees
