Charlie Bryne's Bookshop in Gallway Ireland is an independent book store. You will find a book to take home.
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.
This drawing represents the necessary agreement between student literary proficiency level, level of text readability, and level of literacy- related demands upon the student when promoting literacy in a classroom. To build a successful literary classroom, there must be balance between the three.
The drawing also shows some of the tools a teacher has at their disposal when trying to assess their classroom to create this balance. For example, the one-one-one assessments are grouped together as 16th notes and are placed first on the staff because they would likely be used early on in the students school life and would be available records for future teachers to use. The cloze reading quarter note is placed on the line between text readability and student literary proficiency because it is testing both in relation to the other simultaneously. Lastly, research has shown that using formulas is the best way to assess text readability level, so I grouped two examples together as eight notes.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
A quotation from my Ed.D. research into the concept of 'digital literacy'. More on my wiki here: dougbelshaw.com/wiki :-)
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.
From our PD yesterday outlining some of the present day difficulties of teaching Digital Literacy to those already indoctrinated into other ways!
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.
