The Adult Reading Center is a complete service center using a comprehensive approach that takes adult learners from learning to read, write, and speak English to obtaining a Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency and a job earning a living wage. Adult Basic Education/Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency. Certified instructors teach classes with intensive instruction in Reading, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science preparing individuals to take the HSE exam.

Workforce education and employability skills such as interview skills, resume writing, online job searching, and basic computer skills complement learners’ increased literacy skills and enable them to obtain jobs that provide a living wage for their families. We utilize Roots of Success Curriculum, an empowering environmental literacy and job readiness contextualized curriculum. We prepare adults with barriers to employment to gain access to environmental jobs and career pathways in multiple sectors of the economy. English Language Learners. For learners who need assistance in reading, writing, and speaking English, we offer classroom instruction at various skill levels to meet each learner’s needs or they may meet with a volunteer tutor one-on-one or in a small group. Family Literacy. Our Family Literacy Project strengthens family literacy and parental involvement in their child’s education as both parents and children participate. Citizenship. The classes for learners desiring to become U.S. citizens include lessons on American history, civics, speaking, reading, and writing, and prepare these individuals for the citizenship exam.
