International Literacy Day is celebrated each year on September 8 to remind us of the importance of literacy and the global impact it has on learning and society. Thinkfinity.org and our literacy partners strongly support International Literacy Day and offer a wide variety of educational resources to help improve literacy.
According to UNESCO, 796 million adults lack minimum literacy skills, meaning one in five adults is illiterate. On Thinkfinity.org you will find resources that provide comprehensive information on International Literacy Day such as reading and language arts resources for grades k-12, information and tools related to adult learners and a summary of International Literacy Day ideas for all Thinkfinity fans.
