Book Bytes: Tales That Spark

Book Bytes: Tales That Spark is tackling illiteracy in South Africa by providing free digital access to diverse children's stories. The initiative aims to nurture a love for reading from an early age, aligning with the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study. Illiteracy costs the South African economy R119.03 billion, affecting 3 million people and causing poverty, unemployment, social exclusion, crime, and long-term illness. Book Bytes directs all monetary donations to support the World Literacy Foundation's mission in eradicating illiteracy. Engaging in reading activities at home significantly improves children's literacy.
