I love this information; thank you for sharing. Reading is critical for lifelong success. As stated, without reading, one would not be able to go about his or her daily activities. We must be able to read directions, signs, menus, bills, and so much more. We improve ourselves by reading, educate ourselves, and better prepare ourselves. I loved the visuals in this article and the sad reminder of how many struggle to read.
Reading is definitely something that I see many kids struggle with in school. Most of them prefer not to read at all, when it is so beneficial to their overall well-being. Being able to read is helpful in all aspects of life. I like how the article explained the relevance of knowing how to read how it can impact other parts of our daily lives. I think that it puts things into perspective for many students.
Reading and developing strong literacy skills are crucial for success in any subject area. Many times students link reading to English classes, but reading is found in science, history, and even math. Being able to read is one of the basic survival skills every human should acquire. Great information!
This is awesome! Great virtual poster on the importance of reading! I like the connection you made between reading and improving on grammar and expression skills.
This poster is so easy to read but provides such high-quality information. It's easy to see the benefits of literacy when they're laid out in such a streamlined manner.
Reading strategies are so important. You utilize reading and literacy daily, and it is key for student success. Not only reading, but grammar, spelling and comprehension are important too. This pikto chart is awesome! It explains so much with so little.
I love how the graphics from this poster really pop. It presents the information in such a exciting way that engage the reader. Most importantly it informs the reader in a really straightforward and basic way.
This is a great reminder on the importance of reading. Reading really helps to create a well rounded critical thinker. I need to do a better job of encouraging my students to read.
The statistic that 1 in 4 children grow up without learning how to read is eye opening. If more students could see reading as a privilege, it might promote better attitudes about reading. Reading is critical for success in every content area as well as in daily life. If we are to become lifelong learners, we must first learn to read. Not only is it necessary, but it is a great escape!
What a great infographic! While the statistics mentioned are alarming, I thought about the blurb "...When you read, you are constantly exposed to the grammar, punctuation, and spelling of a language. More exposure helps improve your vocabulary, grammar, and spelling." Much of the visual that we see has a massive impact on what we perceive and process. It makes sense that if someone sees more examples of correct spelling and grammar then they can replicate what they know.
Thank you for this reminder that reading is what opens our minds to the world, and without it we are rendered short-sighted and isolated. It is a scary thought knowing that students today are more familiar with how to write their thoughts in 144 characters by using abbreviations than though detailed written expression. There has been an increase in the lack of basic grammar knowledge by my students in the 9 years I have been teaching, and I contribute that to the increase in shorthand texting expression and the decrease in reading print.
This is a really elegant infographic for reading. It would be a good thing to post in the "Inform" section of a reading intensive class (or any class for that matter). This is really well developed. I like the information about the benefits of reading from different perspectives that involve both academic and personal viewpoints.

It is very sad that 1 out of 4 students grow up without learning how to read. Reading is imperative in our society and to know that some children do not know how to read is scary. We have some students in our school who are very smart but can not read. It has hurt them in so many ways.
Reading is paramount. I feel sad for people that cannot read, how lost they must feel. Reading is essential for survival, we must be able to understand the world around us, so much information is passed via documents, script, etc. I am glad I had the support, and resources that enabled me to be a reader.
What a great reminder of how critical reading is in our lives! Many of us take learning to read for granted and the reminder that 25% of children grow up without learning to read is terrible. Wonderful job! Jennifer Lunsford, Tnt
As a math teacher, it really hits home seeing the data about the number of kids who cannot read. 1 in 4! Sometimes I forgot when I'm teaching that students who get my math questions wrong may really be struggling with the reading.
Thanks for reminder of the importance of reading! Reading is a necessary skills for success in life. I cannot even begin to imagine the struggles a non-reader would face everyday!
This is a great reminder! I used to teach elementary school and I always shared the astonishing data at open house of vocabulary acquisition of a child reads only one minute a day (only reading 8,000 words a year) vs. one who reads 5 minutes a day (only 282,000 words a year) vs. a student who reads 20 minutes a day (1,800,000 words a year). It's literally the most basic & most important skill I believe you can possess. This is great information to share! Thank you.
1 in 4 can't read. Let that fact sink in. It's almost unimaginable that 1 in 4 students can't read. For me as a teacher it is easy to forget that when I'm teaching, and can't figure out why students are struggling on certain problems. Chances are they are struggling because they can't read and comprehend the question. Thanks for the reminder.
Your students can read. 1 in 4 kids includes all the starving babies who grow up in the jungle with AIDS fighting for their lives. 1 in 4 is actually a pretty good statistic for this day and age.
Great poster! Just a small, stylistic thing, though: "Without reading, you wouldn't be able to read." I know the sentence continues but still it doesn't sound natural.

Such a simple sentiment, but nice shout out to the importance of what appears to be a dying pastime...reading.
