It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of literacy, so I'm sharing this infographic from Grammarly
https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker (More than just cute quotes on Facebook!)
I did have one query, as I thought the infographic showed Australia as having a 12% illiteracy rate, whereas it seems to be between 1 & 3% (depending on which site I referenced). However, what it depicts "
is that 12% of all illiterate population leave in East Asia and the Pacific region." Australia is of course part of that region - so it's a good reminder that there is a lot of work still to be done to improve literacy quite close to home, no matter where you live. And if you live in Australia, there's one section of the population that especially struggles with literacy - so although there are many charities and organisations around the world working to improve literacy, I'm just going to mention The Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
As well as donating directly to them, if you're a Nim's Island fan or teacher, don't forget that if you buy the ebook Nim's Island: Excellent Stuff to Make, Cook, Read and Do100% of the proceeds goes to the ILF.
And meanwhile, think about how lucky we all are to simply be able to read this!
Father’s Day is fast approaching and we have heaps of books to choose from for your Dad. We also have a fantastic gift wrapping service to take all the hassle out of buying a gift for Fathers Day. We can even ship it directly to your Dad wherever he is in Australia or the world.
