LITERACY IN AMERICA

THE FACTS EVERY PARENT SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT!

1 in 4 children in America grow up without learning how to read.

Children who cannot read proficiently by the 3rd grade are 4 times more likely to drop out of school.

2/3rds of American children who cannot competently read by the end of their 4th grade year will wind up in jail or on government welfare.

90% of high school dropouts are on welfare.

Over 70% of America’s prison inmates cannot read above a 4th grade level – attesting to the fact that there is a close link between literacy and crime.

75% of Americans who receive food stamps perform at the lowest two levels of literacy.

Teenage girls between the ages of 16 to 19 who have below average literacy skills are 6 x more likely to have children out of wedlock… Therefore, it is vitally important that young children are encouraged & taught to read from an early age.

Our Writing Contest was created as a powerful tool to improve literacy in children.
