Learning to read and write
Established our early literacy
A blessing not available to all
Reading widens our horizons
New skills and more knowledge
Intelligence freely flourishes
Now taken for granted we create
Giving others an insight into our world!
seems that many of my comments are going into others spam .. if you comment here then I usually visit you … so please check your spam?
aroused 
Didn’t find any comments in my spam…at least not from you. Of course, that’s assuming you’ve tried to comment. Maybe you didn’t. 😃😃

The blessing not available to all …… Got me thinking . Sometimes these things which are a Normal way of life for us would make so much of a difference in the lives of people who are deprived of it

thanks Sakshi, that’s the exact point I was hoping people would get … we take literacy for granted while others are deprived 😦

Beautifully said, Kate so good to learn the language so that we can read, write and say what we want in our learnings.

“seems that many of my comments are going into others spam.” That was happening to my comments on other bloggers’ posts a few weeks ago. I had to open up a help ticket with Akismet asking them to stop marking my comments as spam. They did something to fix the issue, but also told me that I’m writing too many comments, which may have gotten me tagged as a spammer. Can you believe that? Too many comments???

ah that could well be my issue … I prefer comments as ‘like’ is not enough … I prefer to comment so could be same issue for me, too many … what nonsense!

Couldn’t agree more! The best way to learn to see the world through someone else’s eyes is to read!

Yes! Love this poem!
We must read and inform ourselves…learn, grow, change….be open to new ideas and old ideas that we haven’t heard before.
Reading and writing opens new worlds and happiness for people. So, if we can, we should teach other people to read. 🙂
As a Kindergarten teacher, I loved teaching kids to read and write! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
I will check my spammy Spam folder! I try to check it once in awhile, because at one time WP was putting people’s comments on my site in the Spam folder. Bad WP! 😉

So moving. The mere fact that we are reading and writing is a testimony to the privilege we have had in our lives. We will never know just how many Shakespeares, Einsteins etc. the world has lost, owing to illiteracy and poverty!

There shouldn’t be anyone on this planet that doesn’t know how to read or write. There is enough money in this world to at least make sure everyone knows these basic necessities. Thank you for sharing. – Letstalkaboutpersonaldevelopment.blog

but some still need enough food and shelter …
so of course there are many illiterate because they didn’t have the same opportunities as us.
