Rewriting stories to rewrite lives
Download your FREE eBook to support Literacy Charities
Almost one billion adults worldwide do not have basic reading and writing skills. Please join us in helping rewrite their lives by reading and sharing the story - ‘A Little Chicken Named Pong-Pong.’ It’s a fresh retelling of the classic story ‘Chicken Little’, with a twist – it has been rewritten by Wanda Steward, who has spent the last year learning to read and write for the first time.
For every copy of the eBook downloaded, Pearson will donate $1 to our partnered literacy charities.*
