How to Promote Literacy and Skilled Communication

I recommed this article about how to promote literacy and the suffering of the poor communication skills. Here some ideas:

• our society does not value the written word the way it used to
• don’t push children to learn to read and write when they aren’t ready

• poor communication skills due to high-tech communication
• high-quality public education requires carefully considered, long-term planning and generous infusions of funds.
