Dear Readers,
What an appropriate quote for our B4 Literacy Readers: “Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfilment, happiness and personal benefit by learning how to read and write. Literacy... means far more than learning how to read and write... The aim is to transmit... knowledge and promote social participation.” - UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg, Germany
As parents, relatives, care givers, teachers, and the support system members for our children, we should strive to arouses hope and instill literacy in our children before birth and beyond. You may ask how can you promote literacy before birth. The answer is read to your baby before he or she is born. Another solution is to encourage and promote literacy a variety of activities at an early age after birth.
