Even today poor literacy affects millions of children, young people and adults in the UK. It's a disadvantage that gets worse as time goes by. Poor literacy means children are less likely to gain the knowledge they need to succeed at school. It also means they're less likely to develop into healthy, confident and happy teenagers. And above all, their literacy difficulties will limit their opportunities througout adult life.
We are committed to ensuring everyone has the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that they need to fulfil their potential.
