Spread around a love of literature,
books and writing! Many children, and even adults, struggle when it comes to
reading.
Look into volunteering for adult literacy classes or reading to the
elderly at a retirement home. www.proliteracy.org has an amazing legacy:
Laubach Literacy
International's history begins in 1930, when Dr. Frank C. Laubach was a missionary
among the Maranao people of the Philippines. His concern about their poor
living conditions led him to conclude that the ability to read and write was
essential for them to begin to solve their problems. As the Maranaos learned to
read, they would, in turn, teach other adults on a one-to-one basis that became
known as "Each One, Teach One." From 1935 to 1967, Dr. Laubach
visited 105 countries answering calls for literacy help and created reading
lessons in 315 languages.
