Literacy

(1989 September 6)

I called the woman who is organizing teachers for reading class [to volunteer] and was told there are about 3 to 4000 in Richland County who cannot read. They may read and write their names etc. but not to read the paper, book etc. She was very glad I called and did not press me, so must have plenty of younger workers. The method is phonics. Well - that's that.
