Literacy Coalition of Central Texas Revenue and Competitors

Literacy is more than knowing how to read. It is about using printed and written information to function in society, achieve one's goals and develop one's knowledge and potential. At the Literacy Coalition, we believe everyone should have the skills they need to reach their full potential. To function in society, achieve their goals and develop their potential, families and individuals must understand medical instructions, know how to use a computer, have a solid command of the English language, navigate the transit and workforce systems and help prepare their kids for school. The Literacy Coalition helps ensure individuals can obtain these skills by embedding its high-quality, proven programming in the business, healthcare and nonprofit sectors. Its programs and services are designed to deepen the impact of nonprofits, strengthen the business workforce, and build stronger communities. Programs include: • Adult Basic Literacy (ABE; reading & writing for those at or below a 4th-grade proficiency) • English as a Second Language for adults • High school equivalency exam preparation • Early-childhood and family literacy • Financial literacy • Computer literacy • Health literacy • Workforce development
