Discovering the Power of Language Quickwrite 9/22

I don't believe that studying the dictionary alone can improve illiteracy. For some, this might work fine, as it did for Malcomb X. However, most people who are completely illiterate are also poor and undereducated, thus having no access to dictionaries to study. A more practical alternative to his approach would be using dictionaries to teach, but actual literal people for assistance. Sort of like children are usually taught anyway. In my community of MSU, where...you sort of have to be literate to even have been accepted, there is still options for improving literacy. There's the Writing Center and personal advisors. As for successful approaches being used in the country, I think all approaches in the United States are relatively similar to those previously listed - however in South Africa, where not every school has personal help, literacy is being improved by funding for libraries for schools that are currently without.
