Today Hailey and Cody chat about their latest reads and discuss Literacy Day and the importance of raising awareness for literacy across the world!
Books Mentioned:
That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon by Kimberly Lemming
Stray Dogs by Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner
International Literacy Day is observed every year on September 8th to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to promote global literacy efforts. This day aims to highlight the challenges faced by individuals and communities around the world who lack basic reading and writing skills, as well as celebrate the progress made towards achieving universal literacy.
Literacy plays a crucial role in empowering individuals, improving their quality of life, and fostering sustainable development. It is not just about being able to read and write; it also encompasses critical thinking, effective communication, problem-solving abilities, and digital skills. Unfortunately, approximately 773 million adults worldwide still lack basic literacy skills, with two-thirds of them being women.
