Literacy Today May/June 2015

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

Our September/October issue will include ILA’s first-

ever 30 Under 30 list, and you’ll help determine who

gets selected. If you know rising leaders—whether

they’re transforming the classroom or the world as

a teacher or volunteer, a nonprofit leader or CEO,

or anything in between—we want to hear their

stories. Nominations are open through June 21. Visit

literacyworldwide.org/30under30 for more information.

ILD Kits Are On the Way

ILA has a fresh take on celebrating International Literacy

Day. To reflect our global commitment, we’ve created

activities inspired by a country that inspires us—the

Philippines. We’re intrigued by its powerful history, rich

culture, and dedication to literacy. Be on the lookout for

the activity kit in mid-May at literacyworldwide.org/ild.
