Literacy rates are measured officially by country, i.e. England, Wales, Scotland and N.I.

In England alone, 3.5 million adults do not have the literacy skills expected of an 11-year-old, 600,000 of whom do not have the literacy skills expected of a 7-year-old. In Wales the statistics are 324,000 and 54,000 respectively. 800,000 adults in Scotland fall into the latter category.

The Adult Literary Survey of 1998 concluded that:
