Part 1
Defining Literacy and Why it Matters
Define Literacy
Literacy Defined
It was once known simply as the ability to read and write. Today it's about being able to make sense of and engage in advanced reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
"Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives." -- Richard Vaca, author of Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum

Life Consequences For Illiterate Children
“If solid reading skills aren't formed during a child's
early years, the odds of dropping out down the
road increase significantly. Kids who aren't
successfully reading at grade level bythe third
grade are four times less likely to finish high
school.”

“Illiteracy is widespread among juveniles
who find themselves in trouble with the law.
Approximately 85% of youth who come into
contact with the juvenile court are
considered to be functionally illiterate,
meaning they read at a basic or below basic
level.”
