Many children around the world are taught in languages they do not speak or understand.
AIR and @DalbergTweet are researching when and how students in Francophone Africa should transition from learning in their local language to French.

#AdultEducation powers families. A study funded by @NIH argues that improving mothers' literacy skills can significantly enhance children's academic achievement, outweighing other factors like family income. 🔗ow.ly/WZLC50PMYrX #AEFLWeek
11.4 million adults in the US need #ESOL classes. #WIOA Title II has funded fewer than one million of these adults in ESOL classes per year over the last 10 years.
We ask Congress to increase Adult Ed Funding! #COABEontheHill2023 #AEFLweek2023 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek

This week is #AdultEdLiteracyWeek. Adult Education has never been more important. 28 million adults lack basic digital skills yet most must use computers every day. We need funding for #wifi and #devices for adult learners that want to #reskill and #upskill for the #workforce.

You may be wondering why exactly background knowledge is so important for #literacy?
Reason #1:
Background knowledge enables readers to choose between multiple meanings of words

Reading comprehension is regarded as a generic skill: make an inference, find the main idea, etc.
But what if instead comprehension is seen not as a skill but as the development of knowledge networks?
