There are many ways you can take action. These include:
1. Educate yourself. Specifically, about illiteracy in the US. By educating yourself, you are able to understand the scale and relevance of the problem.
2. Read. Be a role model! De-stigmatize reading. By seeing you read, others may acknowledge their own need for the skill.
3. Volunteer with an illiteracy project. There are many resources out there (including the one linked). By doing this, you can take an active role in making a difference in your community!
4. Participate in international illiteracy day (September 8). By doing this, you will spread awareness about illiteracy. You will also be giving the illiterate population a voice.
