LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

“…in Afghanistan, the women refer to their illiteracy as blindness. When I asked them what they meant by that, one woman explained: ‘I couldn’t read, so I couldn’t see what was going on.’ In fewer than a dozen words, she described a system that men in power have relied on for centuries-keep women uneducated so they won’t know what’s going on.” – Sally Armstrong, Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother’s Daughter

When time allowed, Gabriel really enjoyed attending his area’s kinky munch and made a point to do so whenever he could. He was dressed casually in black jeans, a black t-shirt, and a black fedora on his head as he got out of his car. Gabriel locked it and made his way inside. As he made his way to the back room that was reserved for the group, he said hello to a few familiar faces, before he excused himself and told them to find him later to catch up. When he finally got to the backroom he saw many familiar faces and smiled. Blue eyes searched the room for a place to sit and found a table that was more empty than the rest, though in truth he did not think it would stay that way for long. And besides, people were always moving around to talk to others. @literateminds

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, March 14, 2024

“To be scientifically illiterate is to remain essentially uncultured. And the chief virtue of a cultural activity–be it art, music, literature, or science–is the way it enriches our lives.” – Lawrence M. Krauss

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, April 25, 2024

“The gulf between science and education has been harmful. A look at the science reveals that the methods commonly used to teach children are inconsistent with basic facts about human cognition and development and so make learning to read more difficult than it should be. They inadvertently place many children at risk for reading failure. They discriminate against poorer children who could have become successful readers. Many children who do manage to learn to read under these conditions wind up disinterested in the activity. In short, what happens in classrooms isn’t adequate for many children, and this shows in the quality of this country’s literacy achievement. Reading is under pressure for other reasons, but educational theories and practices may accelerate its marginalization.” – Mark Seidenberg

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, April 16, 2024

“Libraries are, at heart, helpful and kind providers. It is hard for those who perhaps don’t feel the need to visit their local libraries to understand what a vital service they provide for communities and individuals who do – and those who do are often the most vulnerable.” – Robert Popple

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, April 11, 2024

“We are a city that has had Islam for one thousand years. We had the greatest teachers and universities. And now these Bedouins, these illiterates, these ignoramuses, tell us how to wear our pants, and how to say our prayers, and how our wives should dress, as if they were the ones who invented the way?” – Joshua Hammer, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu and Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

“In short, the age of the pulp magazine was the last in which youngsters, to get their primitive material, were forced to be literate. Now that is gone, and the youngsters have their glazed eyes fixed on the television tube. The result is clear. True literacy is becoming an arcane art, and the nation is steadily ‘dumbing down’.” – Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov: A Memoir

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Literacy is in our veins like blood. It enters every other phrase. It is next to impossible to hold a real conversation, as against an interchange of instructions and acquiescences, in which reference to the printed word is not made or in which the implications of something read do not occur.” – Ruth Rendell, A Judgement in Stone

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, March 19, 2024

“We don’t normally think of it as such, but writing is a technology, which means that a literate person is someone whose thought processes are technologically mediated. We became cognitive cyborgs as soon as we became fluent readers, and the consequences of that were profound.” – Ted Chiang, The Best of Subterranean
