R.E.A.D - Promoting Adult Literacy

R.E.A.D - Promoting Adult Literacy | EdTech Tools | Scoop.it
Guest post by Marisol Stork on the R.E.A.D. program in Ottawa County, Michigan, for improving adult literacy, and the importance of literacy for healthcare.
Patty Ball's insight:

"

In 1991, Congress passed the National Literacy Act that defined literacy as:

“An individual’s ability to read, write, and speak in English, and compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job and in society, to achieve one’s goals, and develop one’s knowledge and potential.”

Based on this definition, current statistics tell us that in the United States, 36 million adults need help with literacy. Among adults with the lowest literacy rates, 43 percent live in poverty and experience a higher rate of unemployment than the national average.

Translated into dollars, it is estimated that the effects of low literacy cost the United States more than $225 billion dollars each year in non-productivity in the workforce and loss of tax revenue due to unemployment. Furthermore, low literacy adds an estimated $230 billion dollars to annual health care costs in the United States.
