让扫盲无障碍

最近,中北卡罗来纳州联合之路从我们的扫盲倡议基金中拨款 10 万美元,通过支持奥农达加扫盲联盟(Literacy Coalition of Onondaga)来推动当地的扫盲工作。

数千年来,文字一直是学习和交流的主要工具。 从有记载的历史故事到生动的小说作品,扫盲使许多人得以蓬勃发展,并以深刻的方式相互联系。 然而,许多当地儿童和家庭并不能平等地获得有效的扫盲教育。

根据美国国家教育统计中心(NCES)的数据,”大约 34% 的学生在四年级时阅读水平低于基础水平、 [and] 另有 31% 的学生低于熟练阅读水平”。此外,致力于缩小识字差距的倡导组织 ProLiteracy 指出,”文盲是影响青少年能否从高中毕业的一个主要因素。每年有六分之一的高中生(约 120 万青少年)辍学”。

在当地,根据CNY Vitals 编制的 2021 年数据,”考试成绩表明,锡拉丘兹与奥农达加县其他地区之间存在着鲜明的对比”。 “在可能的四分制中,锡拉丘兹市学区大多数学生的测试水平为一级或二级,这意味着成绩远低于三年级水平的熟练标准”。

在当地扫盲联盟、幼儿联盟、锡拉丘兹说 “好 “教育组织和多个社区组织的努力下,当地社区开始看到这些领域的乐观发展。

“纽约州中部联合劝募协会主席南希-克恩-伊顿(Nancy Kern Eaton)说:”奥农达加县有太多的居民,无论是儿童还是成年人,识字水平都很低。 “我们知道,识字是成功生活的关键,我们努力确保每个孩子在进入幼儿园时都做好了成功的准备,在三年级时阅读能力达到年级水平,并确保所有成年人都具备成功就业和充分获得所有机会的识字技能”。

最近,中北卡罗来纳州联合之路从我们的扫盲倡议基金中拨款 10 万美元,通过支持奥农达加扫盲联盟(Literacy Coalition of Onondaga)来推动当地的扫盲工作。 奥农达加县扫盲联盟正在利用这笔资金扩大和提高人们对多莉-帕顿想象力图书馆的认识,颁发扫盲冠军奖金,并提供普通教育资源。

通过该联盟的计划,学生可以不分年龄地进行扫盲–普通教育证书资源支持成人免费课程,合作伙伴提供各种无障碍英语课程。 与此同时,”多莉-帕顿想象力 “继续支持社区的幼儿学习。 “伊顿说:”我们的目标是让家庭一起阅读。 “因此,这确实是为了培养孩子们对书籍的热爱,以及从一出生就开始积累词汇和语言的机会,这一点非常重要”。

最终,该组织希望增加多莉-帕顿想象力图书馆(Dolly Parton Imagination Library)的儿童人数,发放更多的扫盲冠军补助金,并增加参加扫盲计划的成人人数。

“伊顿说:”当我们考虑如何应对社区面临的最大挑战时,我们正在共同开展这项工作。 “很多人常说,哦,每个人都是各自为政,没有人一起工作 — 事实并非如此”。
