Message from Steve Wozniak

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple; Honorary Board Member ​Chair of Vision Literacy 
"It is disturbing to me to realize the number of people in our community who struggle daily to read. Reading skills are essential for improving the quality of one's life. As a child I enjoyed reading Tom Swift adventure books.  I can't imagine my life had I not been able to read." ​

1 in 5 adults in the Silicon Valley area are functionally illiterate. This means they struggle getting through the day because they can't read well enough to order from a menu, fill out a job application or help their kids with homework.
