#LiteracyDay:
Tracking, texting and teaching to boost reading around the globe
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Around the globe, students are enthusiastically powering on mobile phones to read words on the screen and turning the paper pages of colorful storybooks. From Afghanistan to Zambia, Creative Associates International’s education programs foster a love of reading by creating digital and print stories for young learners to sharpen their literacy skills. When children have access to reading materials–whether digital or traditional books– their understanding of the world around them broadens and possibilities are limitless.
Creative is celebrating International Literacy Day’s theme of “Literacy in a Digital World” with four stories and two interviews from experts on how reading plays a vital role in equipping students for a successful future.
