Click! CaptionsON Literacy Campaign
Our literacy-loving MISSION is to "Make Screen Time READING Time" by educating kids, parents and teachers that reading skills can improve by using the power of Closed Captioning (or subtitles) as a free, easy-to-use, built-in literacy tool. When multi-hour screen time users read along with Captions ON - and leave them ON they: Watch. Listen. READ. Succeed.

JENNIFER CHALMERS
Book(s): "I Love You More than That" and French version: "Je T'aime Plus Que Ça" Website : Beyond The Compass Books Self-Published: Amazon City: Rockland, Ontario, Canada |
The 444 Authors ASK - a win-win, thoughtful PARTNERSHIP - not just an "ask".
- We ASK: 444 diverse Authors, from all walks of life, with courageous, empowering voices to share their own READING Success Story by recording a 60 second PSA in our built-in, Virtual Video Booth; and to end their video by saying "Click! CaptionsON. "Make Screen Time Reading Time". Be. Caption.Cool. "
- We GIVE: the 444 Authors (especially self-published or first time authors) a novel (pun intended) way to promote their books using the videos as well. We did not get book excerpts and downloaded book covers on-line. We purchased 444+ books on-line or at independent book stores to honor, respect and celebrate the authors' work and encourage everyone interested in their books to do the same. See them ALL here!
- Our MISSION: is proudly aligned with Goal #4 - Quality Education - of the UN's SDG's. In tandem, we envision co-creating original content: "444 Authors+ for Literacy" Docutainment Series in partnership with book publishers and TV/Streaming Channel producers through creativity, courage and empathy via the global power of storytelling - all with Captions ON!
- Our DREAM: for the United Nations to (one day) officially recognize September 20 as "Make Screen Time READING Time" DAY in honor of the trailblazing inclusion, education and literacy legacy of ELLEN LURIE
Our 444 Authors Library came from the following purveyors of AWESOME books (in alphabetical order)
