The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has just released initial results from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) Cycle 2 Survey of Adult Skills. They paint a sobering picture of #AdultLiteracy levels in the U.S. Based on the scores of those surveyed, the PIAAC support team estimates that 58.9 million U.S. adults are at PIAAC literacy level 1 or below, meaning they lack the advanced navigation, reasoning, and synthesis skills required to handle abstract, complex, and layered literacy tasks. Adults with level 1 literacy can… ✅ Locate explicitly cued information in short texts, lists, or simple websites; ✅ Understand the organization of lists or sections within a single page; and  ✅ Handle basic tasks involving one processing step with clear guidance. Compared to adults with literacy levels 2–5, level 1 adults cannot… ❌ Navigate or extract information from longer, multi-page texts with distractions. ❌ Make complex inferences or evaluate credibility across multiple sources. ❌ Perform multi-step tasks requiring reasoning or integration of information. ❌ Analyze abstract concepts or evaluate subtle arguments. These results highlight the great need for helping U.S. adults build the literacy required to fully succeed in learning, economic, and civic activities.
