Before you know it, you’re 25, 35, 65 and you still can’t
read or write.
Imagine...
-
never curling up with a good book.
-
not being able to read a story to your child at night.
-
taking too much medicine because you can't read the directions.
-
not being able to get a job that pays well enough to support your family.
Have you heard?
- Nearly 1 in 4 residents of the Tri-county area (Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester) are functionally illiterate. This means they can do little more than write their names or total deposit slips.
- There are more than 20,000 non-proficient speakers of English in the Tri-county area.

The good news is...YOU CAN HELP.
It's never too late to experience the joy and freedom of the written word.
All
proceeds from the Spread the Word, Charleston!
public awareness campaign will be donated to Trident
Literacy Association, serving more than 2000 motivated adults annually
in the Tri-county area.
