Dear Canada, we are not better than everyone else. Literacy rates in the country continue to fall. Literacy is the foundation on which critical thinking is built. Consider why they want to take it from us and vote accordingly. #readingasresistance
Poster titled Life Literacy Statistics. Orange text on a white background. 48% of adult Canadians have literacy skills that fall below high school level. 17% function at the lowest level, where they may, for example, be unable to read the dosage instructions on a medicine bottle. 55% of adult Canadians score in the three lowest skill levels in numeracy. People with lower literacy skills are more likely to be unemployed than those who scored higher. Canada ranked 11th out of the 23 OECD countries evaluated by the PIAAC. Literacy has the most notable effect when measured against other factors that affect differences in pay, followed by education. A 1% rise in literacy rates would ultimately lead to a 3% rise in GDP.

Just finished the Reading as Resistance curated list available on Libby.

If you belong to any British Columbian library this list is available now and features relevant non-fiction titles on the current socio-political climate.

Curated lists are built from titles available through Overdrive.
