The Importance of Literacy

If you’re reading this, chances are you take literacy for granted. It comes so naturally for the majority of us, we can’t imagine what life is like for people who can not read. If you will for a moment, just try to imagine the life of the illiterate individual. This individual can not pass the written part of a driver’s test. He can not properly manage a bank account, nor can he read the contents of his own utility bills.

He must depend on the graciousness of other people to read things aloud to him, as if he were still a child. Either that, or he must devise creative ways to hide his illiteracy from everyone he meets. That’s not an easy task since every part of our lives is inundated with words written by people who expect us to comprehend them. Even still, our schools fail to reinforce the very basics. They’re too busy focusing on reading wars instead of focusing on our nation’s students.

The Phonics Vs. Whole Language Debate

While the phonics vs. whole language debate is important, our students are lost and forgotten within the argument and they’re reduced to a group of lab rats – exploited to prove one method is better than the other. How does this solve our nation’s illiteracy problem?

Plainly put, it doesn’t. And over 90 million illiterate US adults prove it.

That’s why we take great pride in offering “Randy’s Reading Program” as a free solution.
