About Project R.E.A.D.

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.
