SYRACUSE, N.Y., Oct. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In an effort to help the 36 million low-literate adults in the U.S., ProLiteracy, the leader in adult literacy content development, programs, and advocacy for more than 60 years, is pleased to announce the launch of New Readers Press Online Learning powered by BenchPrep. This first course released this week is a pre-high school equivalency (HSE) online learning course containing four subjects.
The pre-HSE online learning course is designed to help education programs increase access and accelerate adult learner success by providing interactive content, study tools, dashboards, and reporting, in one comprehensive solution.

"We are excited to offer New Readers Press Online Learning content powered by BenchPrep and believe it is the optimal tool to offer digital instruction to provide learners 24/7 access and support our goal to impact 1,000,000 low literacy adults every year."
