Literacy is knowledge.
My granddaughter one year ago. Oh? you say selective color is passe? Exception to the rule ;-). (Could be biased.)

As a dietitian and photographer, I love the book Vegetable Literacy by Deborah Madison. Lovely vegetable imagery and recipes.
Have a lovely weekend my friends and so happy you dropped by!
Extreme northern and extreme southern ends of Buragoot Beach are given up to use by on-leash dogs. Birds get the middle, and that's most of the beach. It's not a bad thing.
Nearby there are red-kneed dotterels just being dotterels.
Along the beach looks pretty flat. But it has its own topography: sand banks, channels, rips. It's not a place to take for granted. There's a big flock of Great Cormorants on one bank, a goodly number of what I suppose are Little Terns, a wheeling flock of Hooded Plovers and no dogs; excellent.
There will be an idiot with a pack of out of control dogs at the far end of the beach. Clearly, literacy and compliance are not universal. I once used the death stare to effect a challenge from a jury selection on a case of someone who clearly committed the heinous crime on the charge sheet. Wheeled out in defence of our feathered friends, it worked a treat. If it hadn't, there was no Plan B!
Is this sign enough? Probably not. Neither birds nor dogs are big on literacy.

One of my personal favourites. A charming RPPC image of a young woman reading to a group of girls. Their teacher perhaps? Photographer's imprint says Melfort so this is most likely a Saskatchewan photo. Has "Made in Canada" and an AZO stamp box on the reverse.
We were visiting the Netherlands for the first time, staying with friends down from Germany. Their young daughter enjoyed "reading" books aloud in the host's colourful library, reciting imaginary tales to herself, and laying down the foundations for a lifetime of literacy and learning.
I was kind of saddened when I framed the shot. Many people are fortunate enough to have a house and a place to read books and news. All this man had was some coins, a newspaper and the railway platform.
Just some idle charting on the concepts of information literacy, media literacy, critical thinking, etc. This is simply one (librarian-centric) possible model of these concepts. The idea is all the other literacies (media literacy, 21st cent literacy, ICT, translit, etc.) involve interacting with information in one form or another, so "information literacy" acts as the umbrella under which all the others sit.
I could hear something going on downtown Moncton this morning and I was over a kilometer away so I had to walk there and see what was going on. It was the Legs For Literacy marathon.

In and amongst all of the racial slurs and misogynistic insults, who would expect to find an actual quote, and spelled correctly at that? If only the miscreant author had thought to put "-George Santayana" beneath the quote, I would have been unbelievably impressed. But it was still a nice find in a sea of decay.

Little Free Library (“Booktoothed”) finished at last. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but his expression speaks volumes. #minilibrary #freelibrary #acrylics for #literacy #rxforreadingdetroit
My photo take (straight out of camera) --
I could think of many captions for this picture. "The power of books" or "Literacy is paramount" or "The power of reading" or as they say in Marathi "Vachal tar vachal" or whatever you folks may think of.
EXIF -
No post processing of any sort.
6 second exposure at f/4.5 and 22 mm in a complete dark room with just the light on the book as the source of light. I think that justifies the idea.

Is education system helpful to these kids who learn ABC without an understanding of what it is? .... these migrant workers mostly from impoverished parts of north India find a decent livelihood in the jhuggies of Kukkatpalli with each and everyone making Ganapatis for the festival and then Diyas for Diwali and some pop statues during other time. Education does not touch the door of these places probably the family does not see value add to it.
We can say that this child needs to be in school... I agree but also wonder is our education system in its present shape an use for people of this strata or a more creative and productive kind of education one which is useful for them!!
This child ironically is named Bharat , who is street smart has probably learned more being on the street than in school........
By the way this boy is not employed as child labour but helps his family eek out a living in his family business of making ganapatis
Whats your take folks?
A quotation from my Ed.D. research into the concept of 'digital literacy'. More on my wiki here: dougbelshaw.com/wiki :-)
From our PD yesterday outlining some of the present day difficulties of teaching Digital Literacy to those already indoctrinated into other ways!
We know how to read words, but do we know how to read photographs? Many are perhaps wondering what are the photographs I'm posting?
Many of these photographs are inspired by William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Walker Evans, Andre Kertesz, Eugene Atget, Martin Parr, Garry Winnogrand etc. I've learnt much from them as I journey on to find my own photographic vision.
Hope you'll take a look at my photos again to see if they make any sense.
it's rare in my part of the world to meet totally illiterate people. this baby's mom was an immigrant, couldn't speak or understand english and couldn't read or write in her native language (she couldn't even tell me her phone number). it must be very difficult, always relying on others for information. i am grateful i am literate.

Women take part in a literacy class run by CHETNA.
The materials they use to learn to read also give important information. In this class, they're reading materials about HIV/AIDS - a serious threat in the region.
With a literacy rate of 92%, Myanmar has a strong culture of reading. Books are sold on the street all over Yangon, with this example being at a book store run by the government publishing house Sarpay Beikman. Currently, there are efforts to keep the level of education funding needed to preserve and continue this tradition.
