We do not offer classes however we do have some resources you might find very helpful.
First of all, we have books called "New Readers" that provide adult-level content in basic vocabulary. You can find New Reader books by going to a library and asking to browse the collection. Unfortunately, there's not a way to search only for New Readers in the online catalog at this time.
There are several community groups that are active in improving adult literacy
