Abstract
Literacy is the ability to read, write and understand print. Proficiency in literacy is fundamental to social inclusion and strongly linked to health outcomes. Thus, improving literacy is important for lifelong health promotion. Poverty, inadequate hearing, speech and vision and learning disabilities may challenge literacy development. In our review, we explore these topics and suggest recommendations to:
Mitigate
the Effects of Poverty,
Access
Comprehensive Medical Assessments,
Promote
Early Childhood Education and
Advocate
for Early Intervention and Remediation Programs.
