Reading and writing efficiently is a skill many individuals take for granted. Although this skill seems given for many individuals, many children grow up without the opportunity of learning basic reading and writing skills. Reading and writing improves society and each individual's future. Literacy is essential to the economy and each individual's well-being.

​

Economies improve with higher levels of literacy because it opens doors to various job opportunities. Employment rates for those who have higher literacy rates are drastically higher than those who do not. 

Personally, individuals will benefit from higher literacy rates by having the knowledge needed to find a job to support themselves. Also, having the knowledge of reading and writing boosts a individuals confidence in everyday  activities.
