lyrics

43 Million U.S. adults are “Functionally Illiterate.”

The ability to read and write is the single most important factor in determining a person's career success. For those who can read and write, the range of possible vocations is huge. For those who cannot, the options are extremely limited.

Poverty breeds illiteracy by forcing children to drop out of school to work, and these illiterate people are forced to stay on the lowest levels of the work force and thus remain in poverty.
