Produced in Tuscaloosa, AL, this public service announcement (PSA) aims to spread awareness about the issue of functional illiteracy in Alabama or the inability to do basic reading, writing and math work essential to function in everyday life.
Individuals who are functionally illiterate find it hard to fill out a job application, help their children with homework and read medicine labels... just to name a few obstacles.
There are many ways to help. If you can, text "read" to 48510 to make a one-time donation. Another way to help solve this problem is to donate your time by becoming a reading tutor.
For more information on functional illiteracy and how you can help, please call Julia Chancy at 205-391-2671 or visit www.literacywa.org

Nearly 1 in 4 Alabamians is functionally illiterate---meaning they lack basic reading, writing and math skills to function in everyday life.
Functional Illiteracy is a serious global and local problem. If you would like to help, please contact Julia Chancy at 205-391-2671 or visit www.literacywa.org

Produced by WVUA-TV in Tuscaloosa, AL in coordination with Literacy Is The Edge, this public service announcement is meant to send the message that "It is never too late to learn how to read."
Reading skills have high correlations to workforce productivity, employment rates and economic conditions not to mention the personal effects of reading skills.

At The University of Alabama's second annual Quidditch on the Quad event held in November 2011, UA students got a chance to drink some butter beer and try to catch a snitch. But they also got a chance to hear about functional illiteracy---the inability to do basic reading, writing and math to function in everyday life.
