SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.21, 2013 /PRNewswire/Statistics show that 67% of American children struggle to become proficient in the skill most essential to modern life: literacy. Our society is fueled by literacy, and if we do not stand up for these struggling learners now, the consequences for both the individuals and society as a whole will be disastrous.
Blueprint for a Literate Nation's author Cinthia Coletti, CEO of the nonprofit Literate Nation, shares how readers can be the next leaders of change. The book is divided into two parts: part one details stories and facts about literacy in the United States, while part two offers a toolbox for readers, empowering them to build a cultural movement to enact real transformation through literacy laws in every state, Blueprint's call to action.
Coletti argues that although literacy rates are a nationwide issue, the solution lies surprisingly close to home: grassroots teams across the country that have already begun the movement to reform education.
"With a firm commitment to opening opportunities for the next generation, and with the right information to guide you along your journey, you too can make a difference in America's future," says Coletti.
Blueprint for a Literate Nation has multiple contributing writers, industry experts from across the country:
- Knowledge Calibration by Margie Gillis, EdD
- Leverage Social Media to Drive Change: Twitter Power for Literacy Educators and Activists by Carolyn D. Cowen
- First Helping My Child Then Creating Community Change by Elenn Steinberg
