Considering the number
of children and adults affected and the profoundly negative life-consequences,
even if we cut the NAEP and NAAL numbers in half,
more
children are at risk of long-term life-harm from the consequence
of reading difficulties than from parental abuse, accidents, and
all other childhood diseases and disorders combined. In
addition to each individual's pain, shame, and loss of opportunity,
the collective costs to all of us; socially, politically, and
economically are staggering.
In
purely economic terms the price tag is many hundreds of billions
of dollars each year.
