Snapshot of Literacy Needs

LCCT recognized a need for a report containing the most streamlined, accurate, and current data to reveal the various literacy-related needs in Central Texas.  By gathering information already available to the public, including data from the 2007 and 2008 American Community Survey, the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy, the Literacy Coalition has organized the data into an easily understandable snapshot of various literacy-related needs. 

The Snapshot of Literacy Needs in Central Texas includes:

• Limited English Proficiency - ESL Needs
• No High School Diploma - GED Needs
• Low Literacy - Basic Literacy Needs
• Why Should We Care? The Impact of Low Literacy on Your Community
