Literacy and its Relationship with Family Economics

Abstract: This 4 page report discusses the basic premise that literacy levels within a family or household indicate the economic and social success of the child within it. Examine the statistics that show that in the United States, 13.1 percent of the people live in poverty, and of that percentage, over half are women - 56.2 percent and 27.8 percent of children under 5 live in poverty, a clear connection between literacy, economics and the family household begins to present itself. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
