Literacy

We are taking a class called Literacy. In this class we are learning how to teach some one how to read that has previously never read their own language. It is a task that looks easy at first until you start to find out all the details and exceptions that need to be taken into consideration. We had the privilege of practicing writing a primer with Melanesian Pidgin. We only wrote eight pages for the first primer that normally would have 28 pages. But it was good, fun, hands on practice. All together when we teach this to tribal people there would be 4 primers. God is preparing us to, Lord willing, one day teach tribal people how to read God’s word. This is the ultimate goal in teaching literacy, and it is a thrilling thought!
