What is Literacy?

          

Did you know?

Literacy is the ability to read, write, compute, and use technology at a level that enables an individual to reach his or her full potential as a parent, employee, and community member.   

To be functionally literate is to possess the ability to utilize these skills everyday.  

Silicon Valley is not immune - 1 in 4 people are functionally illiterate.

  
  • 7 million Americans cannot read words
  • 27 million Americans cannot complete a job application
  • 30 million cannot read a simple sentence
  • 14 countries rank higher in literacy than the United States
How can you help?  Volunteer or make a Contribution.

"It is disturbing to me to realize the number of people in our community who struggle daily to read. Reading skills are essential for improving the quality of one's life.  As a child I enjoyed reading Tom Swift adventure books.  I can't imagine my life had I not been able to read." 

- Steve Wozniak co-Founder of Apple Computer and Chair of Honorary Board of Vision Literacy.
