"How do you spell illiterate?"
"A majority of students training at scores of New York colleges to
become teachers flunked a literacy test they have to pass to be

"The state Board of Regents for the first time is requiring would-be teachers to pass the Academic Literacy Skills exam."
"It measures whether a prospective teacher can understand and analyze
reading material and also write competently. The results show many don’t
belong anywhere near a classroom."
"At Boricua College in The Bronx, 13 students took the literacy test. Not a single one passed."
