English term or phrase: reverse
“Reading can go a long way towards helping to reverse the cycle of poverty faced by many school children.”

La lectura puede tener una gran influencia para ayudar a...el cliclo de pobreza al que muchos niños en las escuelas se enfrentan.

El problema es que no encuentro argumentos para decidirme entre "invertir" o "reversar"/hacer dar marcha atrás. Como significa las dos cosas, pero no son sinónimos, me gustaría una sustentación respecto a la respuesta propuesta en este contexto. Mil gracias
