If you�re reading this, then good for you, because a lot of people won�t. So what? you may be thinking. Who needs to read another blog post by another author with another book? True. It�s not dire that you read my blog or my book or anything else that I may ever write. But it is dire that you read prescription labels, contractual terms on legal and financial documents, and your children�s homework. You may be surprised by the number of Americans who aren�t able to do the things that all of us who are reading this take for granted.
