Literacy for All<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that 175 million young people lack basic literacy skills. To address the issues, UNESCO Regional Office of Southern Africa (ROSA) is supporting programs and activities to develop quality literacy materials for literacy educators and learners through integrating mother language in literacy teaching and learning. Fifty-two years ago, UNESCO officially declared September 8 International Literacy Day, with the goal of highlighting literacy as a human rights issue. www.unesco.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>

In 2018, The International Literacy Association developed the Children\u2019s Rights to Read project.The Case for Children\u2019s Rights to Read lists 1<\/em>0 fundamental Reading Rights.www.literacyworldwide.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to Atlas (2017), the 25 most illiterate countries include:South Sudan, Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, Chad, Somalia, Ethiopia, Guinea, Benin, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Senegal, The Gambia, Bhutan, Pakistan, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Central African Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Nepal, Bangladesh, Timor-Leste, Mauritania, Togo.

Children Need Books<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Family Scholarly Culture and Educational Success: Books and Schooling in 27 Nations, a 2010 article in the ScienceDirect Journal found that \u201cChildren growing up in homes with many books get 3 years more schooling than children from bookless homes, independent of their parents\u2019 education, occupation, and class.\u201d www.sciencedirect.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children need to see other kids that look like themselves in picture books. Why? Kids of color need to be represented in literature to show they are important in the world and that they matter. We Need Diverse Books is an organization with a vision of \u201ca world in which all children can see themselves in the pages of a book.\u201d Find more information at www.weneeddiversebooks.org<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Diverse books, both fiction and nonfiction, help kids understand that even though children look different on the outside, they are all the same on the inside. Our homes, schools, libraries, and communities need diverse books on bookshelves.

Celebrate Children\u2019s Book Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Children’s Book Week turning 100 years old in 2019, Every Child a Reader and the Children’s Book Council have announced plans for a celebration. <\/strong>The 100th Anniversary theme is Read Now\u2014Read Forever. Look to the past, present, and most important, the future of children\u2019s books. Children\u2019s Book Week is April 29 \u2013 May 5, 2019. Happy Birthday to Children\u2019s Book Week!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1919, Children\u2019s Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the U.S. Every year, events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, and homes. www.everychildareader.net\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising Readers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important to expose babies, toddlers, and younger children to the world of books? Why is it important to read aloud to babies and toddlers? Why is it important to make reading fun for children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are a child\u2019s first teachers, first role models, and first communicators; talking, listening, singing, making sounds, smiling, laughing, and hugging. Homes are the building blocks of society. \u201cChildren are made readers on the laps of their parents,\u201d surmised Emilie Buchwald. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLearning to read and write doesn\u2019t start in kindergarten or first grade. Developing language and literacy skills begins at birth through everyday loving interactions, such as sharing books, telling stories, singing songs and talking to one another.\u201dwww.zerotothree.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child’s life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk.\u201d www.readingrockets.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations\u2014something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.\u201d\u2014Katherine Patterson<\/p>\n\n\n\n
