In light of National Literacy Day taking place this Sunday September 8th, HuffPost has provided us with the 5 cities with the least amount of literacy amongst its residents. Hit the jump to find out if your city is one of them!
In honor of National Literacy Day taking place tomorrow, take at least 20 minutes to pick up a book, read an abstract, do anything that will help you exercise your right to read!
The day brings awareness to the lack of literacy in some U.S cities, so make sure to take the time next week to volunteer at your neighboring school, public library or literacy council!
“Some cities in the U.S. don’t match up to the literacy of most fifth graders. The cities are as follows: Stockton (California), Bakersfield (California), Anaheim (California), El Paso (Texas) and Corpus Christi (Texas)”
Below are Literacy Volunteer programs within these regions, click on one and volunteer!:
