Celebrating International Day of the Girl

Dear LitWorld Friend,

In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11th as the International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to recognizing the rights of girls. Since then, LitWorld has celebrated this day, rallying our global community to join our "Stand Up for Girls" campaign, where we advocate for every girl's right to share her story and transform the world.

The LitWorld community has proudly celebrated the International Day of the Girl for the past 13 years, and this year was no different.

Our global partners commemorated this day by putting together special activities to empower girls in their local communities, and we couldn’t be prouder to stand united in this mission alongside them.

Thanks to your support, we can continue to Stand Up for Girls not just on October 11th, but every single day.

Scroll down to see a recap of how our partners celebrated!

For the past few days, Pam Allyn has been in Oxford, United Kingdom, speaking at the World Literacy Summit!

The World Literacy Summit is a global initiative that aims to build greater awareness of the international literacy crisis and create a platform for delegates to collaborate, share ideas, learn from one another and be united in a call to action and a plan for change.

Pam joins world leaders in the fields of literacy and development to discuss these pressing issues and propose solutions.

She is also joined by former LitWorld Leadership Team Member, Jen Estrada, who is now attending Oxford University!

 

With Jen Estrada

Pam also extends her special thanks to the organizers of the World Literacy Summit for creating such a beautiful gathering of literacy leaders from all over the globe!

Pam Allyn Appears on Mom Enough Website

 This week, Pam Allyn's interview is featured on Mom Enough, the website portal of mother-daughter co-hosts, Marti and Erin Erickson.

Pam joins in to talk about simple but powerful ways to engage your child – tot to teen – in putting ideas on paper, starting with a toddler’s scribbles or drawings and building toward clear, concise expression of feelings, concepts and logical arguments.

This is all about empowering your child to use the written word creatively and effectively.

To what extent do you think technology (including texting and tweeting) helps or hinders good writing? Whatever the age of your child, what could you do at home to support writing while keeping the fun and excitement in it?
