Houston rolls out plan to address city's adult literacy challenge
Did you know that 1 in 3 adults in Houston can't read? Today, The Mayor’s Office for Adult Literacy (MOAL) and the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation unveiled Houston’s Adult Literacy Blueprint, a call for action and comprehensive plan for coordinated city-wide change to address alarming adult literacy rates. The city also cited research showing the entire city would get a $13 billion-dollar economic boost if we successfully raise overall literacy just one level.
