Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation

Literacy levels are inextricably linked to nearly every community metric including income, education, crime, health, economic vitality, civic engagement, generational poverty, and more. Yet, 2 in 5 schoolchildren and 1 in 3 adults in greater Houston lack age-appropriate literacy skills. That is why our work the past 10 years has been important and why our continued effort to make Houston a city filled with readers is imperative.
