“Foundational literacy and numeracy are crucial to every person’s well-being. A nation’s literacy rate is a key predictor of its social and economic progress. Yet the world still has hundreds of millions of children in school but nor learning the basics, and adults deprived of these foundational skills. Why?
Drawing from remarkable examples of movements around the world, and sprinkled with stories from the authors’ grassroots educational work in the Global Dream Accelerating Learning for All (ALfA) program, Disruptive Literacy is an easy-to-read but hard-to-ignore manifesto that will touch your heart and inspire you to action.”

In a remarkable achievement that defies all odds, young Anisha, a bright eight-year-old girl from a slum area in Lucknow, has become fluent in reading newspapers. Her accomplishment is even more extraordinary considering the scarcity of literacy in her slum-dwelling community, where education is often viewed as a luxury rather than a necessity.
