National Adult Literacy Survey

The National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) is a comprehensive assessment conducted in the United States to measure adults' reading, writing, and quantitative skills. It evaluates how well adults can perform everyday tasks that require literacy, such as understanding health information or managing finances. The survey provides insights into the overall literacy levels of adults, identifies areas where skills may be lacking, and helps inform policy and educational programs aimed at improving literacy across the population. It serves as a valuable tool for understanding adult literacy challenges and supporting targeted literacy initiatives.
