Comment on Report: Literacy Rates in the United States Have Declined Significantly in the Last 30 Years
ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 4 months agoI couldn’t read the OP paywalled article but other similar articles mostly cite students from low-income families struggle the most. My guess is there are now more kids living in low-income families than before, and declining literacy rates is just a byproduct of growing wealth inequality.

As I recall, over half of all American children live in homes with a household income below living wage.
