Literacy: Why Does the U.S. Rank So Low?

Show participants in U.S. literacy discussion      
From left, Dr. Jei Watkins, show host Henrietta J. Burroughs and Christopher Norwood are shown on the Talking with Henrietta television set after their show discussion on Thursday, January 25, 2018.

It's ironic that 32 million adults in the U.S. can't read. That's 14 percent of the population, and according to a U.S. Dept of Education study, 21 percent of U.S. adults read below a fifth grade level. Nineteen percent of high school graduates in this country can't even read the diplomas that they receive. So, why does the U.S. have such low literacy rates and what can we do to correct this situation? The guests on this edition of Talking with Henrietta discuss some of the roots of the problem along with some steps that we can all take to increase literacy levels in our own communities.
