Artemis
Ward, The Barbara Bush Foundation
for Family Literacy
Former First Lady Barbara Bush chose
literacy as her life’s work based on a simple, but powerful belief: “If more
people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to
solving so many of the problems plaguing our society.”
Low literacy is a silent and enduring
crisis in our country. Roughly 54% of U.S. adults aged 16-74 lack proficiency
in literacy, essentially reading below a sixth grade level. Over the past three
decades, the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy (BBF) has supported
family literacy programs in all 50 states and D.C., changing the lives of
countless parents and children.
In 2020, to continue its fight in addressing unmet adult literacy needs, BBF positioned itself as a modern leader in the literacy field through the strategic use of authentic success stories, helpful resources on adult literacy and programming, and compelling and easy-to-find data and research.
Why
mispronouncing a name can undermine a student’s identity – and how to help
How does the way a teacher pronounces a
student's name impact their education – and why does it matter? In 2020, Qatar
Foundation and Vox Creative's
Explainer Studio partnered on an Explainer Video to find out. Through the
Explainer, the paramount importance of respecting someone's identity by
respecting their name was unpacked with editorial rigor and emotional impact.
Ultimately, the Explainer leaves viewers with clear takeaways of how to be
better citizens to one another.
The secret to pronouncing someone's name if you don't know how? Just ask.
