APPLETON (NBC 26) — Fox Valley Literacy will host its first-ever public event on Wednesday, March 4, to share results from the 2025 State of Literacy Project — a comprehensive study shedding light on the literacy challenges and strengths of area adults.
The research, which surveyed more than 800 participants across Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, and Waupaca counties, examines how local residents handle everyday literacy tasks. This includes navigating healthcare paperwork, completing digital activities, and understanding financial information.
The public is invited to attend the unveiling event from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Appleton Public Library. Attendees will hear key findings, learn about the implications for the community, and connect with others interested in advancing literacy in the region.
