Library of Congress 2020 Literacy Awards Event
Join Child Aid CEO Nancy Press on Thursday, November 19/ 1:30 pm (ET) in conversation with fellow recipients of The Library of Congress 2020 Literacy Awards – Book Dash, Island Readers and Writers and Room to Read.
These award-winning literacy leaders will discuss the digital divide. The gulf between those who have access to the internet and computers, and those who do not. How do you keep learners engaged in reading and writing without the technological tools that so many use today? How can we bring parity to the literacy landscape? Please join Nancy in discussing this important topic.
