Low-literacy skills are directly linked to higher unemployment, less earned income and poor health.

The result is a lack of social mobility and greater inequality for millions of families. With a workforce that is less academically prepared and skilled, the overall U.S. economy is negatively impacted.

A mother’s education is one of the primary indicators of a child’s academic success.

Less than 47% of children whose mothers did not complete high school are school ready, compared to 83% of children whose mothers have a bachelor’s degree.

Students who do not read proficiently by the 3rd grade are four times more likely to leave high school without a diploma.

Low-literate parents often are unable to provide a stimulating learning environment for the children. This inequality in opportunity leads to an achievement gap that extends through elementary school and beyond.
