Alarm! The Literacy Crisis in Developed Countries – How Do We Address the Challenge?
Literacy education in developed countries is strong, but the challenge has shifted from learning to read to understanding the meaning of texts. Many children, particularly boys, struggle with deeply comprehending textbook content. This difficulty is partly due to a decline in leisure reading, which traditionally reinforced literacy skills. Teachers must focus on comprehension by using stress-free methods and including texts chosen by children themselves. Parental support, such as reading aloud and using apps like Tale Reader, plays a crucial role in fostering literacy development.
