Connecting Parents with Early Literacy

Why is Literacy Important

Literacy is necessary for
an individual to understand
information that is out of
context, whether written
or verbal. Literacy is
essential if we are to
remove poverty at home,
improve infant mortality
rates, address gender
inequality, and create
sustainable development.
Without literacy skills the abilities to read, to
write, to do math, to solve
problems, and to access
and use technology today's adults will
struggle to take part in
the world around them and
fail to reach their full
potential as parents,
community members, and
employees.

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph

about your organization. It might include the purpose
of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a
brief history. You could also include a brief list of the
types of products, services, or programs your
organization offers, the geographic area covered (for
example, western U.S. or European markets), and a
profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for
readers who want more information about the
organization.
