Foundation Teaches Illiterates To Read
Chicago AP. Teamwork Foundation, Inc. teaches reading to the illiterate using a six week crash program. In Chicago the first class produced 204 graduates aged 17 to 79, gaining an average of 5.9 grade levels in 100 hours with a phonic method. The program aims to expand to Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Hammond Indiana. Mort Levi notes 11 million Americans are total illiterates and 68 percent of Michigan retraining candidates failed basic literacy tests. Although started in the South Side Negro community, the program now includes whites and Spanish speakers. Levi emphasizes illiteracy crosses racial lines and cites census data on whites with less than five years of schooling.
