The Jamwriter 8020 Initiative aims to improve global literacy with a personal and interactive experience for the student.
When my friend's son, Javier, heard about a character named “Javier” in a book, he suddenly got more interested. "That’s me!" he thought.
"For young readers, it is far more likely they will get involved in a story if it’s about things they know, places they’ve seen, situations they recognize. It immediately makes the reader a stakeholder in the story. And if they had a hand in creating the book? Imagine how important that could be in a young life."
These are the stories we need to stimulate the love of reading, the passion for learning, and open doors to opportunity.
