Hacking Literacy

from Hack Learning · host Mark Barnes

With more than 120 million illiterate children, it's time to put books in kids' hands. In this episode, Mark Barnes shares how one school built a Book Nook, filled with thousands of books, which the school gave to its students. Unlike the school library, the Book Nook is a place where students can simply take books and keep them. In one of the easiest, yet most powerful education hacks ever created, you learn simple steps for launching your own Book Nook as early as tomorrow. Then, you can build an amazing culture of readers at your school. This is Hacking Literacy.
