Today, September 8th, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will be once again working to increase literacy awareness by hosting the 53rd Annual International Literacy Day.
This year’s focus is on ‘Literacy and Multilingualism’ by recognizing and addressing how multilingualism impacts literacy. This year’s event will be held in Paris, but don’t worry, there are ways to participate no matter where you are.
Some ideas for promoting literacy:
-
-
- Volunteer with a community agency that helps promote literacy.
- Say thank you to a teacher in your life.
- Read a book to a child.
- Visit your local library.
- Donate a few dollars to a local literacy group.
