Literacy
Illiteracy takes a toll on the
American economy.
Evidence A
“[Corporations] spend some $3.1 billion a year on remedial writing instruction for employees….” (Gioia).
Three quarters of welfare recipients cannot read (“Illiteracy: The Downfall of American Society”).
Evidence B
Reading literature is critical to the wellbeing of the nation’s economy, society, and individual citizens.
Evidence C
“Illiteracy has been proven to cause children to drop out of school. Dropouts cost our nation $240 billion in social service expenditures and lost tax revenues” (“Illiteracy: The Downfall of American Society”).
Illiteracy does not just hurt the individual, it hurts the nation. But there is a simple solution: read a book (and then another, and another…); and share good reading experiences with others to encourage them to read also.
