Literacy is the Answer | John Trischitti | TEDxACU

[@Jazzisa311]

It's one of the reasons I have a mini library in my front yard. Seriously, books are super cheap second hand, I keep refilling it when kids take books out. It's a lot of fun too!

Instaportal is a scam, they make a comment saying they hacked there gf then usually follow up with a comment saying how great the software is.

[@benmungai5978]

[@Andyhoffman98]

I always knew reading was good and such but I honestly wanted to know the bread and butter of why literacy is good for society and peoples well being. Great talk!

[@lorithomas7738]

Great talk! John inspires educators, librarians, and all literate people to be proactive to help improve literacy rates by sharing his own story.

A library is an important place

Why are KZbin ads so annoying

My mother says she taught me to read when I was 3. I don't remember. But she never suggested any books to read all thru grammar school. But I stumbled across science fiction in 4th grade. My mother called my SF books "something crazy". I ended up going to college for Electrical Engineering. Why hasn't the US had a K-12 National Recommend Reading List of about 9000 since the 1950s? Updated every 5 years. The "Literary People" decide what boring books everybody is supposed to read: 1984, The Scarlet Letter, Romeo and Juliet. A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C Clarke was better than anything I was assigned to read in school. Good science is not supposed to be part of literature. LOL

Lets all embrace these facts and this way of life and live, love and laugh together through this hardship and storm We call a life 🙏🏻

I used to love reading. Then I got an iPhone, and YT, and now I think I have short patience for anything. My brain is fried.

[@noreengardner1075]

Reading and UNDERSTANDING is the answer

[@desmondlittle6676]

John did you know phonic before you knew how to read. You just didn’t read alot

[@anthonynapier2887]

Its convenient, someone who can't read the safety sign who saves you time. Didn't we evolve out of the hunter gatherer phase?

[@hinzuzufugen7358]

Health and literacy - yes indeed. I teach - but most of those barely reach - mostly functionally illiterate refugees/immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan etc. Almost none of the men does not smoke or drink heavily sugared tea/coffee, many have diabetes/high blood pressure, women are mostly obese. Few are willing to thread through 90 minutes of - yea, inefficient, ineffective schooling - between the breaks, Reaching the next double cigarette or smalltalk over chai is paramount - more important than to learn how to speak, read, write (well, they fill in blanks) German.
