World Literacy
I have been told:
776 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE ILLITERATE
46% OF ADULTS CANNOT READ A NEWSPAPER, A RECIPE,
AN INSTRUCTION ON A MEDICINE BOTTLE OR FILL IN A
JOB APPLICATION
1 IN 6 CHILDREN CAN'T WRITE THEIR OWN NAME
I know you don't want your child to be that one!
These are scary statistics so let's talk about getting kids to read.
Millions of children around the world are not lazy, stupid or suffer
from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) so these are not the reasons
that so many cannot read!
