New "What Literacy Means to Me" Essay Contest
Literacy And What It Means To Me
Even as a young child my fondness of reading was strong.
What Literacy Means To Me
Literacy means a lot to me because if I didn't know how to read or write, I wouldn't be able to do some of the things that I love doing
literacy (n.) the ability to read and write --Webster's New World Dictionary
Piles and piles of books. Stacked everywhere, in no particular order, thick as "Don Quixote" to the wafer--thinness of "Siddharthe", covering every subject imaginible.
What Literacy Means to Me Essay Contest Winners
Each winner received a $100 savings bond provided by the Peninsula clarion and our "Year of the Peninsula Child" partners.
