I chose my topic because I have always
thought that a love of reading contributes to a better ability to comprehend and learn. Literacy is important to function in everyday life.
I believe the decreased interest in reading in the world today is in direct correlation with a lack of reading material that interests students.

In the United States, an estimated 30 million
people over the age of 16 read no better than the average elementary school child.
The ability to read and write is the basis for all other education.
Without literacy skills, today’s adults will struggle to take part in the world around them and fail to reach their full potential as parents, community members, and employees.
