I also had no idea when I began teaching that there are significant numbers of adults who struggle with reading. So now I make contact with our local colleges and university and speak to their classes and future teacher organizations about this issue. We have also opened the doors of our adult literacy program for education majors to do field work. We get free volunteers and they learn first hand about issues that effect parents.
