  1. This is my first visit to this website, however, it will not be my last. Any organization that is devoted to advocating literacy has my vote. As an adult educator, I know how important literacy is to an individual's life. An individual's life is so much more improved (best jobs, educational opportunities) if he or she is literate. So, keep up the good work.

  6. I too am a supporter of literacy. It provides the crucial underpinnings of social change and justice. I am wondering if there is any corporate push-back as globalization can feed off of a more compliant population if they are illiterate.

  7. @dlwchapman, Thank for being a literacy supporter. Interesting question! Although there may be some people who can argue that corporations are against improving literacy, our experience has been the opposite. We have corporate partners who recognize how important it is for their workers to be skilled and literate in order for them to succeed. Corporations are implementing instruction programs in house—McDonald’s Under the Arches is one such example. Still, corporate support is very much needed across the world to really further literacy for every child and adult.
