I've sent you an email with further comments and an evaluation. The idea that literacy is power has been swimming in my head for the entire afternoon.
Literacy creates a voice in students.
This voice, when spoken, gives students their power. I agree with Knoblauch because I find myself each week in front of my company. I am always speaking during training. I feel that the ability to write is the foundation for the ability to speak. The ability to speak effectively is the power Knoblauch talks about.
