The first time i truly realized this was working as a waitress. The amount of times people order something, and I'd usually have to tell them what it is and what's in it despite the menu having descriptions. Because they can't read it.
My Roman Empire: Illiteracy is so common that when someone online misunderstands something you said and gets angry at you for something you didn’t even say, there’s a very good chance thet they literally just can’t read.

54% of Americans read below a 6th grade level, according to the National Literacy Institute. With statistics that bleak, it is clear that we need to support literacy efforts at all ages and levels. #TowardLiteracyForAll

This thread raises some great points about how literacy (or lack thereof) touches so many aspects of our society. When everyone receives adequate reading instruction, we will all be better for it!

When people notice that kids these days aren't reading, they are ready to blame any number of things: schools, politics, smartphones, etc. But when 1 in 5 kids is dyslexic (most undiagnosed), maybe we should start there first. #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

Dyslexia doesn't have to be a downer! All you need to succeed with dyslexia is the right kind of support and instruction.

"School was not easy for me." Carol Greider achieved success in molecular biology in the same way she overcame dyslexia as a child: with persistence and creativity. Greider is one of many Nobel Prize laureates that have dyslexia.

Please support HBF288/SF244! "If a child is taught to read in the early grades, that child has been given the best chance they have to build knowledge and vocabulary because they CAN read the words." ~Emily Hanford #mnleg @dyslexiamn #Action4Literacy
