Bowling Green, Ky – The Housing Authority of Bowling Green is hosting a special adult reading program, in conjunction with WKU. Dr. Jim Berger is an associate professor of adult education at WKU. He says the Read Kentucky program is having a dramatic impact on some participants. One technique is improving participants' job skills by teaching them to read items such as recipes and safety instructions. He spoke to our Dan Modlin about the program.
