The Portage County Literacy Council is currently helping over 130 adults in Portage County through ESL instruction and one-on-one tutoring, but even more could be done. According to Wisconsin Literacy, Inc., approximately 1 million Wisconsin adults qualify for adult literacy and English language services (U. S. Census 2000 and NALS 1992). Only 75,000 (less than 10%) of adults in need of services are currently receiving them.
