Boosting Adult Literacy in Milwaukee
August 2024, 620 WTMJ
Our partnership with the Milwaukee County Federated Library System continues to develop as we help to combat low adult literacy rates in Milwaukee County — where 25% of adults read at a third grade level or below.
Learning to read is essential for life. From navigating your lease agreement to decoding the instructions on a prescription bottle, you can’t escape the need for literacy. The Juice empowers adults to improve their comprehension skills and learn about the world by accessing informative reading articles at a comfortable reading level.
Adult illiteracy is a vicious cycle. Parents who can’t read well often don’t read to their children when they’re young (one of the biggest determining factors in student reading success). Thus the cycle of illiteracy continues and is passed along to children. The Juice is building reading comprehension skills in adults across Milwaukee County and helping to break the cycle of illiteracy in families.
The Milwaukee County Federated Library System is offering all Milwaukee County residents a free subscription to The Juice (even if they don’t have a library card). For more information, watch the full video on 620 WTMJ or go to MCFLS’s “Read for Your Life” campaign page.
