September 8th is International Literacy Day, and we’re “celebrating” along with Grammarly by sharing this lovely Infographic. Unfortunately, the statistics show that over 750 million people worldwide (and over 30 million in the United States) are illiterate. Let’s show our support in fighting literacy by raising awareness (and consider donating to a literacy-promoting charity of your choice).
[…] Last Tuesday was International Literacy Day. The wonderful ladies at Chapter Break are sharing a fun infographic about reading, books, and literacy. […]
Wow, it’s shocking when put in cold numbers like this. I had no idea there were so many people (still!) that can’t read and write… Great infographic, Julie, thanks for sharing!
Oof! Some of those statistics are startling! Thanks for sharing the infographic though…at least the literacy rates are improving.
