ABSTRACT

This document presents synthesized estimates of the rates of level 1 literacy by congressional district in the 50 states and District of Columbia. The estimates are extrapolations of the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) that were based on the findings of approximately 26,000 interviews. The document begins with an introduction containing the following: overview of the NALS; examination of what it means to be literate in the 1990s; definition of level 1 literacy (ability to perform many tasks involving simple texts and documents but difficulty using certain reading, writing, and computational skills considered necessary for functioning in everyday life); and discussion of the impact of low literacy. Presented next are answers to 12 frequently asked questions about synthetic estimates of adult literacy proficiency. The remainder of the document consists of bar graphs and maps detailing the rates of level 1 literacy by state, congressional district, county, and municipality. A total of 119 figures/tables/maps are included throughout the document. Appended is a paper, "Synthetic Estimates of Literacy Proficiency for Small Census Areas" (Stephen Reder), that describes the extrapolation techniques, which are said to be relatively accurate for individual localities with at least 10,000 inhabitants.

The National Institute for Literacy gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the Office of Vocational and Adult Education, Division of Adult Education and Literacy of the U.S. Department of Education, which commissioned researcher Dr. Stephen Reder of Portland State University to carry out the initial synthetic estimates, and the guidance and help of Dr. Reder throughout the development of this new presentation of the data.

Introduction The State of Literacy in America: Estimates at the Local, State, and National Levels In recent years, policymakers have asked many questions

about the extent of our

national adult literacy problem. Some have even wondered whether low literacy is a national problem at all. Very little was

known about the skills of the adult population as a whole.

What is

Recognizing this need, Congress in 1988 directed the

the NALS?

Department of Education to carry out an assessment of the literacy skills of American adults. The result was the

National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), a monumental study

that remains the most comprehensive, statistically reliable source of data on literacy in the United States.

Through an exhaustive process that included interviews with approximately 26,000 individuals, data were collected and, in 1993, reported at the national level. Thanks to the NALS, we now have a comprehensive and up-to-date profile of the literacy skills of American adults. The following chart summarizes the NALS findings.

Introduction

The State of Literacy in America

Following the NALS release, policymakers and adult lit-

eracy workers were eager to find out exactly what these numbers meant to their own states, counties, and cities. They wanted to know where their adult population stood and how far it had to go. They were especially curious about the scope of the problem for adults with the lowest level of literacy skills those in the greatest need of educational services.

What's New in

We are pleased that this report provides that information.

This Report?

The National Institute for Literacy presents here an extrap-

olation of NALS data for states, counties, Congressional districts, and cities with adult populations over 5,000. It is

the best estimation of how many adults have low literacy skills that we have ever had at our disposal.

The data were prepared by researcher Stephen Reder of Portland State University, and made possible by the U.S.

Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education's Division of Adult Education and Literacy. Dr. Reder used sophisticated statistical modeling

techniques to calculate synthetic estimates of adult literacy proficiency for these areas. (For details on the process

used, please see "Frequently Asked Questions About Synthetic Estimates of Adult Literacy Proficiency.")

It is the hope of the National Institute for Literacy

that this new geographic breakdown of the lowest levels of adults' literacy abilities will fuel a discussion of and new ideas about lifelong learning and

securing higher levels of literacy for all adults as the 21st century approaches.

What is Literacy in the 1990's?

As the world changes and the demands on individuals, families, and businesses increase, the definition of liter-

acy also continues to shift. While concerns about inadequate literacy skills are not new, the nature of the con-

cerns is evolving. In the past, literacy was considered

the ability to read and use printed materials at an extremely basic level. Today, adults need higher levels

Introduction

of basic skills to function effectively in many areas of their lives, and literacy is defined more broadly to include problem-solving and higher level reasoning skills. Literacy is a range of tools that help people help and their children. It is not an end in themselves itself, but a means to a better quality of life. In its 1991 National Literacy Act, Congress defined literacy as:

an individual's ability to read, write, and speak in English, and compute and solve problems at levels of proficiency necessary

to function on the job and in society, to achieve one's goals, and develop one's knowledge and potential. NALS reflected this new concept of literacy. Rather than classifying individuals as either "literate" or "illiterate," NALS created three literacy scales: prose litera-

cy, document literacy, and quantitative literacy. Each scale reflects a different type of real-life literacy task. For example, tasks included the following:

Finding information in texts, such as newspaper articles.

Completing forms, such as a social security card application.

Interpreting graphs and charts, such as a table of employee benefits.

NALS makes clear that literacy is not something individuals have or don't have. It created a literacy continuum on which people may fall at different places for different kinds of skills. NALS divided the continuum into 5 levels, with Level 5 reflecting the highest skills and Level 1, the lowest.

Introduction

What Does Level 1 Mean?

or 40-44 The NALS found a total of 21-23 percent of the 191 million American adults (defined million as age 16 or older) at Level 1, the lowest literacy level.

Although many Level

adults could perform many

tasks involving simple texts and documents, all adults scoring at Level 1 displayed difficulty using certain read-

ing, writing, and computational skills considered necessary for functioning in everyday life.

The following chart details activities most adults at Level 1 usually can and cannot perform successfully:

While we are concerned about improving the literacy of all adults, we consider those scoring at the lowest level

(Level 1) to be most urgently in need of nationwide attention. We want to emphasize that most of these adults are not "illiterate." They are able to perform a variety of literacy and other tasks that life requires of

them. But the background data profiled in the original NALS report clearly demonstrate that these adults tend

to be at a great disadvantage in our society. They do

not have the full range of economic, social, and personal options that are open to Americans with higher levels of literacy skills.

Low literacy skills are closely connected to the social problems related to poverty.

Nearly half (43 percent)

of all adults in Level 1 live in poverty. This contrasts

with only four to eight percent of those at the two highest literacy levels.

The Impact of Low Literacy Poverty. Forty-three percent of adults at Level 1 were

living in poverty, compared to 4 percent of those at Level 5.*

Welfare. The likelihood of being on welfare goes up

as literacy levels go down. Three out of four food stamp recipients performed in the two lowest literacy levels.

Income. Adults at Level 1 earned a median income of $240 per week, compared to $681 for those at Level 5.*

Employment Status. Adults at Level 1 worked an average of 19 weeks per year, compared to 44 weeks per year for those at Level 5.*

Crime. Seven in 10 prisoners performed in the lowest two literacy levels. * These numbers refer to the score on the prose literacy scale. Similar differences occurred using the quantitative and document scales.

What's Next?

All Americans can and should be doing much more to

address our nation's literacy needs. Nationally, fewer than 10 percent of adults who could benefit from literacy programs are currently being served. Public policies

created at the state, local, and federal level have a tremendous impact on the number of people served and the quality of programs. In addition to the most urgent needs more funding, better coordination among service providers, and greater collaboration program quality could be with other social services improved through better teacher and tutor training; greater availability of support services, such as child care and transportation; and better instructional materials that include new technologies. While the education, labor, human services, and health

care communities have begun to think about literacy across agency lines, more attention is needed because our success as a nation demands basic literacy skills for

all adults.

Mississippi explains, "Without an education in the year 2000, we the people will be in serious trouble. Because

now everything is moving forward fast and without an education you will be moving nowhere." For information on how you can help, call the National Institute for Literacy Hotline at 1-800-228-8813 or visit NIFL's Website at http://www.nifLgov.

2.

What are synthetic estimates of adult literacy proficiency?

3. Who produced these estimates?

The estimates of adult literacy proficiency presented here

combine information from the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) and the 1990 U.S. Census to estimate adult

literacy proficiencies in geographical areas not adequately sampled by NALS. These areas include many states, congressional districts, counties, large towns, and cities.

These estimates of adult literacy proficiency were prepared

by Stephen Reder of Portland State University. Robert Fountain, director of the Statistical Consulting Laboratory at

Portland State University, provided technical advice on sta-

tistical procedures. Chris Wingerd and Charlie Mauck

helped with the construction of databases and with running statistical programs. Computer software to display the

estimate database was programmed by David Lowry and Charlie Mauck (Windows version) and by Cavanaugh and Theodore Latiolais (Macintosh version). This work was funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Adult and

Vocational Education. Sean Forrest of UUCOM, Inc. devel-

oped the Internet implementation of the database display.

Frequently Asked Questions

4.

How were reliable estimates obtained for areas in which the NALS collected little or no data?

The State of Literacy in America

The estimation process relied on a model that predicted NALS literacy proficiencies from Census-like variables

about adults' demographic characteristics, level of edu-

cation, ability to speak English, and so forth. The model's predictions were then compared to state- and county-level NALS information to gauge the accuracy of

the estimates. The model reliably predicted the literacy proficiencies assessed by NALS in numerous sampled

geographical areas. This predictive model was then applied to other geographic areas for which the U.S. Census had accurately measured those same predictive characteristics.

5.

How were these estimates of adult literacy validated?

The National Adult Literacy Survey included a sample of

states and counties. The predictions of the model used

for this report were compared with the actual literacy proficiencies surveyed by NALS from these areas. The

accompanying technical report (Appendix 1) describes

the validation process and results in detail. The statelevel and county-level predictions appear to be reason-

ably accurate. Because NALS identified the state and

county but not the congressional district, city, or town

in which respondents resided, it was possible to validate the model directly only at the state and county lev-

It seems likely, however, that a predictive model that fits counties well will also fit most congressional districts, large towns, and cities well. els.

6.

8

How accurate are synthetic estimates of adult literacy?

Estimates such as these are generally less accurate than

survey estimates. The estimates of adult literacy proficiency provided here are based on a number of assumptions beyond those made in the NALS survey. Under these assumptions, it was possible to determine the degree of uncertainty associated with the estimates. A confidence interval (a range in which the true NALS

The State of Literacy in America

Frequently Asked Questions

value is expected to occur 95 percent of the time) was calculated for each estimate in the database. For exam-

ple, consider an estimate that 15 percent of adults in a

specific county have literacy proficiency at the lowest level (Level 1). The 95 percent confidence interval might

be determined in this case to be between 12 percent and 18 percent, indicating that the actual NALS percentage is very likely to fall somewhere in this 6-point interval.

The widths of the confidence intervals for estimates of adult literacy proficiency varied considerably. Among

thousands of counties, for example, the 95 percent confidence intervals for adults in Level 1 had a median

width of about 6 percentage points, as the above example did. This means that half of all such estimates

had confidence intervals smaller than 6 percentage points (the smallest was 4 points), and half were larger

than 6 percentage points (the largest was 17 points). A confidence interval of 10 percentage points or less (+

5 percent) is generally accepted by statisticians to be reliable. Estimates included in this report that have a confidence interval greater than 10 points have been or

noted with an asterisk to indicate that the figure may be less reliable. For the record, fewer than 500 of the more than 7,500 estimates included in this report had a confidence level that exceeded 10 percentage points.

7. Why are estimates produced for combined literacy proficiency rather than separately for prose, document, and quantitative literacy?

Separate synthetic estimates certainly could have been

generated for each of the NALS literacy scales. But the

three NALS scales are, in fact, very highly correlated and, for many purposes, can be well represented by a general literacy proficiency measure. Because of the large amount of information required for a database of estimates covering thousands of local areas, it was decided to estimate only an overall literacy proficiency measure, calculated as the average of the prose, document, and quantitative scores.
