Project R.E.A.D. stands for Reading Enhances Adult Development. The mission of Project R.E.A.D. is to teach adult non-readers basic reading skills. After completing the program, non-readers and challenged readers learn to read at a beginning 6th grade level. All Project R.E.A.D. graduates are referred to an appropriate adult literacy or pre-GED program to continue to increase reading skills or to continue preparation for the GED.

Bossier Parish Community College has supported this volunteer-based program for over 20 years beginning in September 1986. As a community service, BPCC offers the program FREE of charge to all participants.

Project R.E.A.D now offers classes! Students may attend class daily to develop or strengthen their reading skills.

Who We Serve

Non-readers, 18 years or older. BPCC offers this program FREE of charge to non-readers. Participants meet with volunteer tutors for private tutoring sessions twice a week at a location convenient and agreeable to both individuals. The tutor and the student determine places and times of tutoring sessions.

Current sites for tutoring include:

  • Public libraries in Shreveport and Bossier City
  • Bossier Parish Community College
    Struggling readers attend class daily to strengthen and develop reading skills.
  • Churches in your area
