Thank you for checking and letting us know. This is a very real reminder that just because something is published, it is not necessarily true. Of note, there is more up-to-date demographic information available about adult literacy. At a NIFL meeting in December, Ron Pugsley from the US Dept. of Education showed us a new book, "Benchmarking Adult Literacy In America: An International Comparative Study." Unfortunately, there weren't enough copies to go around that day I haven't yet been successful in getting a copy. Perhaps someone on this List can share more information about this important resource.
