Did you know…?
28% of the metro Atlanta’s population have low literacy
skills (including both native and non-native speakers of English).
Adults with low literacy skills are less likely to read to
their children. Children who haven’t developed
basic literacy skills when they enter school are 3 to 4 times more likely to
drop out.
US business and industry leaders estimate spending $600 million a year on remedial reading,
writing, and math classes for employees.
