Details

2013 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Inhis book Teaching the World to Read you'll find explained Laubach's famed literacy program. Frank Laubach was sponsored to go to many countries and nations that had no written orthography for their spoken languages. He analyzed hitherto-unknown tribal sounds and their styles of speech with the goal of providing an alphabet for each tribe or nation. Then he would train teachers or leaders who soon taught their people how to read. He was known as Apostle to illiterates. His program was called Each One Teach one. A mystic and intellectual, he spent 40 years of his life empowering millions of the poorest, disenfranchised people in third world countries.
