More
than any other single skill, the ability to read - and read well -
allows
a child to succeed in school, learn about the world, function
in
society, and someday have decent job options. Enhancing children's
literacy is at the heart of the Soho Center's NATIONAL
CHILDREN'S LITERACY INFORMATION project
- a national children's literacy initiative that includes this NATIONAL
CHILDREN'S LITERACY
WEBSITE.
