Intermediate ESL students who have trouble reading English are invited to enroll in free spring reading classes offered through Oakton Community College's Alliance for Lifelong Learning. Classes are funded by the Illinois Community College Board, the Office of the Secretary of State, and the Illinois State Library.

The purpose of these free classes is to develop reading and writing skills for personal or employment purposes. Students may discuss their individual goals and needs with a counselor during registration. Free reading classes start in mid-April, and meet at various times and locations throughout the district.
