A community coalition founded to boost adult literacy across metro Detroit will award $180,000 in grants this week to nine literacy agencies, partners in its mission to increase job readiness and add to education efforts in southeast Michigan. The coalition, Reading Works, is an organization of business, education, media, civic and faith leaders that raises money -- and community support -- for partner organizations that help thousands of adults learn to read or read better each year. Wayne State University is noted as one of the leaders in establishing the program about two years ago.
