Learn More"The Silent Crisis: Why U.S. Students Are Struggling to Read"
The decline in U.S. student literacy is fueled by widening socioeconomic disparities and the overuse of digital technology.
Students from low-income households often lack access to books, stable internet, and high-quality educational support, placing them at a disadvantage in developing core reading and writing skills. At the same time, excessive screen time—particularly on social media and entertainment platforms—has replaced sustained, meaningful reading. This shift not only shortens attention spans but also undermines vocabulary growth, comprehension, and critical thinking. Together, these factors are weakening the literacy foundation essential for academic success and lifelong learning.
