Literacy Links

by Tristi Pinkston | More from this Blogger

Who can argue that literacy is one of the greatest blessings we have, one of the most important skills we need to learn, a gift that we give ourselves and to our children, and that helping someone else learn to read one of the most satisfactory experiences we can ever have?

The written word is an astonishing thing. You can become educated and entertained with a book, you can learn new skills, escape to another place, receive spiritual enlightenment, find friendship when you're lonely -- I can think of no other medium that can give us all these things.

As we continue to celebrate Literacy Month here at Families.com, I thought it would be nice to bring together a whole slewful of blogs that have been done about literacy and put them in one spot. Well, this is the spot! Happy browsing, and may your literacy month be full of great reads, sharing with friends and family, and the chance to share the gift of reading with someone who needs it.
