The two non-profits are giving away FREE tablets along with the patented FUNetix® 12 Hour Reading App™.
PHILADELPHIA and BALTIMORE, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The American Youth Literacy Foundation, Inc., 501(c)(3) (AYLF) today announced a partnership with DedicatedToSavingLives.org to bring literacy to inner city children in Baltimore, Md. and other cities desperately needing to catch up to grade level.
Literacy and mental health are intricately intertwined. Research shows that reading ability by the end of third grade can be predictive of educational success, career earnings, and the risk of incarceration, and that illiteracy can lead to feelings of isolation, incompetency and depression.
FUNetix has recently received a charitable donation enabling the organization to donate tablets to teachers and reading specialists who can use the app to begin reversing pandemic-related learning loss for their students. Teachers in Baltimore and Prince George’s County, Md., Philadelphia and Montgomery County, PA, West Virginia, Spokane, WA and Coeur d’Alene, ID can apply for the free tablets by clicking here.
“Mental health includes almost every dimension of one’s life, affecting one’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being, feelings, thinking, and actions,” said Melody McDaniels, founder of DedicatedToSavingLives.org. “It’s impossible to overlook mental health because it is crucial at every stage of life, from childhood through adolescence and adulthood.”
