MISS: Cayuga County has a higher adult illiteracy rate than the national average, with 19 percent of adults unable to comprehend basic written instructions or understand the directions on their prescription medications.

An additional struggled for many of these people is the inability to earn more money by landing jobs that require basic reading and writing skills.

The federal Department of Education reports that nearly half of American adults in the lowest level of the literacy scale were living in poverty.

Volunteer literacy coaches work with people who left school at an early age and others who are learning English as a second language. Additionally, the Center for Learning, a program of Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES, offers literacy training to adult learners hoping to earn their GEDs.
