Teach Someone To Read

We at Touched By The Light Publishing thank you for reading one of our publications.   We pray that it was an enjoyable experience.  We now ask that you join us in our literacy campaign by pledging to teach a person to read.  Help open the doorway to the world by teaching a person to read.  If you visit our website at  www.touchedbythelightliteracyprogram.comyou will learn how important reading is to our country.

We can reduce teenager pregnancy by teaching a person to read.  We can reduce the number of violent incidents in our country by teaching someone to read.  We can reduce our prison population by teaching someone to read.  We can improve our employment rate by teaching a person to read.  Reading is an essential past time.  It is one of the most important activities a person can perform.  Reading opens doors to knowledge and knowledge opens doors to personal management and self- employment.  We would like for you agree to teach one person to read.  If 1 million Americans agree to teach 1 million people in this country to read we will be 1 million stronger and so on.  Each year focus on teaching someone to read.

Call your local library or get on the Internet and find an organization dedicated to teaching people to read and volunteer at that organization.  Make it your business to spend a year teaching an adult to read.  Those of you with more money and time please advertise for people with low reading skills to join you for a reading class at your local church or the YWCA.  Reading is an accrued skill. The more you read, the better you get at it.  It does not take a lot of money to teach a person to read.  Remember, slaves learned to read by candlelight.  Those of you earning more than $200,000 a year please find a school and make certain that every child in that school knows how to read.  Donate money to a company that specializes in teaching children to read and have that company invite children from the designated school to participate in their reading program.   You want to make certain every child in that school can read.  According to a recent U.S. government report, 'The State of Literacy in America, nearly one out of two adults are functionally illiterate, without the minimum skills required in today's society. Many adults in the USA cannot read a newspaper or fill out a job application. The prison population has the single highest concentration of illiterate US adults.   42 million Americans can't read at all, 50 million can not read above a 4th or 5th grade level.

We are an industrious nation and we are a giving nation so we can solve the problem of literacy in our nation if we make it our business to teach a person to read.  If you can read you can teach someone else how to read.  If you cannot read ask a librarian to tell you of a reading program in your area.  Make it a point of pride and teach someone to read.   Do not leave this problem for someone else to solve.Make it a point of pride teach someone to read.
