Supporting Readers in Colleges and Adult Learning Organisations

 The Reading Agency has developed a comprehensive approach to help colleges and adult learning organisations to deliver the transformative power of a high-quality reading offer. Our targeted programme offer aims to bolster literacy skills, enhance learning engagement, and support well-being, improving employability and educational progression for adult learners. Aligned with Skills England’s mission to address literacy and support regional growth and economic opportunity, our reading programmes can improve functional literacy and help learners develop skills which meet national employment needs.
