Item Special Note

In today’s world, “literacy” means an individual’s ability to read, write, speak and compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job and in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential.”  Used in this sense, it is essential that the skills necessary for literacy be encouraged and developed by a child’s early middle school years.  Research has shown that middle school years are pivotal in a child’s early literacy capability. The3pointfoundation needs your help in promoting literacy for middle school children.

Coaching for Literacy

The mission of Coaching for Literacy is to increase awareness about the number of people in America who are functionally or totally illiterate and the social problems associated with illiteracy.

Why Promote Literacy?

Two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare.  College graduates have a 95 percent chance of never living in poverty and subsequent generations have a better chance of avoiding poverty as well.

32 million adults in the United States cannot read. That is about 1 in 7.

43 percent of adults with the lowest literacy rates in the United States live in poverty.
