A few years ago the National Institute for Literacy produced some PSA's (and made them available for State Literacy Resource Centers -- and others -- to use free.) I liked that some (maybe all) showed an adult learner, saying succinctly how, for that person, the "investment' in adult literacy and learning -- their time and effort, practitioners' efforts, and public and private funding for literacy programs -- was worthwhile. I would like to see more PSA's with adult learners (including program graduates) talking about how programs had helped them to meet goals like: reading to their children , helping their children with homework, becoming a citizen, getting a job or a better job, becoming more active in a faith-based organization, making a difference in their community, or getting into college or a job skills training programs. I would like more Americans to understand that adult literacy is a sound "investment" with "returns" to individual adults, their children or other family members, communities, employers, and the economy.
