LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

“…in Afghanistan, the women refer to their illiteracy as blindness. When I asked them what they meant by that, one woman explained: ‘I couldn’t read, so I couldn’t see what was going on.’ In fewer than a dozen words, she described a system that men in power have relied on for centuries-keep women uneducated so they won’t know what’s going on.” – Sally Armstrong, Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother’s Daughter

Fox News Contributor Says Nipsey Hussle Would Help Trump's "Financial Literacy"

Fox News Contributor Says Nipsey Hussle Would Help Trump's "Financial Literacy"

During a recent episode of Fox & Friends, Lawrence Jones, who is a contributor on the show, made some comments that many people found to be controversial. He likely didn’t intend to imply that Nipsey Hussle would be supporting Donald Trump’s political views if he were still alive but from his comments on television, some people are interpreting his remarks as just that.

16 Quotes to Celebrate Reading & Literacy

The Chicago Literacy Alliance and its members believe that all Chicago residents should have the ability to identify, understand, interpret, and create the written word; advance beyond foundational literacy to develop skills that can lead to professional opportunities; and develop a lifelong love of reading and writing. This is currently an issue in Chicago, as 49% of 4th graders are reading below basic levels of proficiency and 30% of adults need basic literacy skills.

Chicago deserves a brighter future, and while addressing low literacy rates is tremendously complex, they know that the most innovative, successful solutions are not going to come from just one person or organization—they’ll come from a wide range of expertise and perspectives. They’re proud to help their member organizations work together to provide literacy services to 18 million people, and they look forward to highlighting literacy as an issue on which we can all have a positive impact. To that end, check out these quotes that celebrate literacy & a love of reading!

“To be scientifically illiterate is to remain essentially uncultured. And the chief virtue of a cultural activity–be it art, music, literature, or science–is the way it enriches our lives.” – Lawrence M. Krauss

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, April 25, 2024

“The gulf between science and education has been harmful. A look at the science reveals that the methods commonly used to teach children are inconsistent with basic facts about human cognition and development and so make learning to read more difficult than it should be. They inadvertently place many children at risk for reading failure. They discriminate against poorer children who could have become successful readers. Many children who do manage to learn to read under these conditions wind up disinterested in the activity. In short, what happens in classrooms isn’t adequate for many children, and this shows in the quality of this country’s literacy achievement. Reading is under pressure for other reasons, but educational theories and practices may accelerate its marginalization.” – Mark Seidenberg

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, April 16, 2024

“Libraries are, at heart, helpful and kind providers. It is hard for those who perhaps don’t feel the need to visit their local libraries to understand what a vital service they provide for communities and individuals who do – and those who do are often the most vulnerable.” – Robert Popple

Thursday, April 11, 2024

“We are a city that has had Islam for one thousand years. We had the greatest teachers and universities. And now these Bedouins, these illiterates, these ignoramuses, tell us how to wear our pants, and how to say our prayers, and how our wives should dress, as if they were the ones who invented the way?” – Joshua Hammer, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu and Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

“In short, the age of the pulp magazine was the last in which youngsters, to get their primitive material, were forced to be literate. Now that is gone, and the youngsters have their glazed eyes fixed on the television tube. The result is clear. True literacy is becoming an arcane art, and the nation is steadily ‘dumbing down’.” – Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov: A Memoir

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Literacy is in our veins like blood. It enters every other phrase. It is next to impossible to hold a real conversation, as against an interchange of instructions and acquiescences, in which reference to the printed word is not made or in which the implications of something read do not occur.” – Ruth Rendell, A Judgement in Stone
