Students:
Did you know? One in four adults in the US functions at the lowest level of literacy.
Don’t underestimate the hardship this deficiency creates for low level learners and their families. An adult’s inability to perform routine literacy-based tasks places them at a distinct disadvantage in our technology-based society and workplaces.
Research shows individuals who improve their literacy skills are able to:
Obtain a job or advance in their job
Achieve financial independence
Manage health needs of self and family
Ensure children succeed in school
Exercise their rights as citizens
Lead successful lives
Model positive behavior for their families
Give back to the community
