There is a deep relationship between poverty and illiteracy. Poverty may adversely affect children's cognitive development and academic performance. Limited reading teaching materials, poor physical condition, food shortage, unstable housing, and dangerous environments are additional challenges often encountered by children living in the poor. According to the American Heart Foundation, 61% of poor families do not have children's books at home. Therefore, children living in poverty have a 50% weaker vocabulary than wealthy fellows when they start studying.

Poverty is also threatening the development of children at a more fundamental level. Neuroscientists are beginning to measure the relationship between poverty and the structure of the child's brain, especially in the brain field related to language, reading comprehension, execution function, and spatial skills. Girls and boys in poor households and low-income households often lack nutritious food at critical times during the development of the brain. They are more likely to live in a community exposed to environmental toxins, such as stress from lead or toxicity levels (eg frequent or prolonged exposure to violence), both affecting cognitive development.
