National Literacy Day: November 1
Just a quick note today to remind everyone that in the United States, today is National Literacy Day, so it’s a great time to do something simple: give a child a book by visiting the Literacy Site today.
With the holidays coming, you might also want to consider patronizing some of the advertisers on the site, too, and shop for some of your holiday gifts there.
One-third of all Americans, 90 million people, are functionally illiterate. We should be ashamed. On this day of all days, let’s do something about it!
And then we’ll all be … beyond the elements of style!
