Women of the Confederate

who is the face of illiteracy?
…it was the topic at lunch this week. Answer: you can’t tell. If it is estimated that 56% of adults in AR can only read at a 4th grade level then looking around the restaurant I was stunned to think of the number of people in the room we could be...
how hard would it be to shop if you couldnt read?
Ever thought about false illiteracy? I was sitting in a Starbucks earlier this month talking with a friend about reading, literacy and all the things that have been circling my mind this month. We are both in marketing professions and I was struck by...
books open our eyes to the world
