Online Literacy Tips



This week we are focusing on LITERACY. Did you know that 47% of Detroit residents are functionally illiterate? What do we mean by this? Well, if someone is illiterate  that means they cannot read or write. If someone is functionally illiterate  they are capable of some reading or writing simple sentences, but their skills are not developed enough to function in a job or every day living tasks. Does this make sense?
Here are some SUPER HELPFUL websites. Some have fun games to play while others contain article s and stories with a recording so you can read with help.

Adult Reading Practice (Adult Learning Activities, read along with a recording)

Let us know which one of these is your favorite! Do you have any favorite websites that we forgot? We love the game "BananaGrams" but can't seem to find the free online version. If anyone has any suggestions, please let us know!
