11/ A large number of people in UK prisons (around 3 in 5 according to one prison librarian) have reading problems or dyslexia. There needs to be research into the connection between difficulties with literacy and eventual crime to help people before they resort to crime. Access to good help with reading and communication difficulties needs to be a priority. Wouldn't it be great if by addressing this issue, we could build more libraries and fewer prisons?- Do you have any experience of this?
- Do you know of good research about this?
- How do you feel about this?
- How can 'Word Nerds' help on a local/National/International scale
- How can we use the internet to help?
- What do we know that could help governments to deal with this issue?
