The LAC believes that adult literacy is one of the greatest drivers of upward mobility in the US. The ability to read, write and speak English is critical to survival and success as a worker, parent and community member, especially in an information rich society such as the United States. Lack of these basic skills prevent many Americans from participating fully in what this country has to offer.
