Literacy: The
Cornerstone of Success at the Library
Edison Darke County students make literacy presentation at Greenville
library
According to a 2015 U.S. Department of Education report, 32 million
adults cannot read above the fifth grade level… and one child in four
currently grows up not knowing how to read. It’s not getting better.
Today’s generation is less educated than the one before.
Edison State Darke County Campus Fundamentals of Communication students
have focused on literacy as their term project and a team will be
making a presentation to the public about this Cornerstone to Success
at the Greenville Public Library, Thursday, July 27 at 6 p.m.
What is literacy? Is it just reading or does it involve more, such as
being able to use the knowledge as a function of success? What is the
relationship between literacy and poverty? Literacy and crime? What
role does it play in the overall well-being of a community?
Edison students will explore this critical topic and what it means to a
community and the individuals who live in it. They will offer
suggestions that could help make a difference. The presentation is open
to all ages and light refreshments will be served. Students will be
available to answer questions following the presentation.
