A Global Effort to Improve Literacy
Results for Development,
Oct 26, 2018
Back in April Results for Development promoted the use of mobile technology for early childhood development. In this article it promotes The Global Book Alliance, "beginning with the Global Digital Library, which was launched in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, earlier this year (which) aims to collect existing high-quality, openly-sourced early grade reading resources, and make them available online, mobile and for print." I'm sceptical of the focus on books (as opposed to the many other types of literature in today's environment) and suspect that's the publishers' influence speaking, but I do like the idea of getting writing into the hands of parents and children worldwide and helping them learn to read.
