Share Basic Literacy

IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet, is a universal doorway to literacy.

First learn IPA, with or without a teacher, with or without tech.

Then you can learn any script for any language very easily.

If your language was unwritten, use IPA to write your own language.

IPA offers basic phonetic literacy to all.

Print it and share. Teach the children.

To students, say:

Let's study this together.

Puzzle out every letter's sound, one letter at a time, maybe one a day.

Use paper and pencil. Practice drawing each letter many times, while saying the sound.

Write easy words. Write your name.
Write what needs to be remembered, what is important to save, what you want others to read.
Read others' notes, read signs, read the owner's name on things.
Learning is not very easy, but it is very possible.

This was made for you.
You can do it.

Help each other, until everyone can read and write.
