Literacy Facts

Literacy Facts

We recognize a sad truth :Metro Detroit has far too many functionally illiterate adults, people often reading below a fifth-grade level, unable to read to their children. Various studies are sobering:Up to 47% of Detroit adults are functionally illiterate, with Wayne County up to 36%, Macomb and Oakland at 13%. Efforts by Educate Our Kids USA and other agencies are working  on behalf of education in the Detroit region to reform K-12 by focusing on academic outcomes to help increase high school graduation rates, college and career readiness for students. Incorporating Digital Learning with Blended Learning  techniques are the first step towards education reform. Connecting the dots between children and adults, poorly educated kids become high school dropouts. In the State of Michigan, one and three adults read below a sixth-grade level, we finally understand that improved literacy is about college, careers and children.
