Literacy is of paramount
importance for strong
families. When parents are
literate and read to their
children, the children
become readers from an
early age; when mothers
and fathers can read food
labels and follow
prescriptions, the health of
the whole family improves;
and when a parent can read
and write well enough to have
a productive job, the family can be economically self-sufficient.
Literacy makes both families and communities stronger.
Mrs. Laura Bush
