Intellirati’ is a blend of intelligent and literate for a reason. In the U.S., about 90 million adults read at the lowest literacy levels, and millions of children still lack access to research‑based reading instruction. National data show that literacy rates are slipping, with roughly 1 in 5 adults functionally illiterate and over half reading below a sixth‑grade level. Researchers estimate that this costs our economy up to trillions of dollars each year and deepens inequities for communities of color and low‑income families. At Intellirati Studios, we believe literacy is not optional—it is the foundation for opportunity, innovation, and a more equitable future.
