Nearly 760 million adults internationally have only basic or below basic literacy skills in their native languages, according to proliteracy.org. That's 16 percent of the global population. In the United States alone, 63 million people over age 16 cannot read a story written at an eighth-grade level, representing 29 percent of the U.S. population. According to ReadtoLeadToday.org, one child in four grows up without learning how to read. Discouraging numbers like these are the reason September has been named National Literacy Month. The month is dedicated to the spread of literacy and the awareness of illiteracy across the country.
