Why Literacy Matters
When individuals the world over learn how to read, write, do basic math and use computers, they are more likely to lift themselves out of poverty, contribute to lower health care costs, and find and keep sustainable employment. It has been widely reported that a mother's level of reading skill is the greatest determinant of her child's future academic success. In Craven, Pamlico, and Jones counties, approximately 19,000 adults read at or below the third grade level.
If you or someone you know wants to work to improve their literacy skills for any reason, we look forward to hearing from you.
