XPrize Learning Apps Ready for FREE Download

XPrize Learning Apps Ready for Download
VALUEUSA: 3.31.2019

In the United States, right now we are helping 10% of the people who need help in learning how to read and speak English. We at VALUEUSA strongly believe that this is an opportunity to help the rest of the 90%, so we need you to help share this information, verbally because non-readers get the majority of our information by word of mouth.

We ask you to pass this information on to other programs and more importantly with adults who need to learn. We are not looking for you to do reports, get information, or collect data on anybody. All we are asking for is for you to get these free learning apps into the hands of the individuals who needs these skills, so they can make life better for themselves and their families.






USE CODE 4499 FOR FREE ONE YEAR USE

An Android device is required to download from the Google Play Store.
So, raise your voice and take action now, from April 1 to August 30, 2019.

If you download these apps then, they will be free to use for one year. We are asking you to share it with the students in programs and anyone on the waiting list. Ask them to pass it on to anybody they think can benefit from these learning apps in any way. =Nearly 36 million adults in the U.S. lack basic literacy, yet only approximately 10% access educational services. The goal of the $1 million Adult Literacy XPRIZE Communities Competition is to expand access to adult education technology tools. XPRIZE’s mission is to empower millions of adult learners to acquire the skills they need to advance their education, find better work, or simply read a bedtime story to their children.

VALUEUSA wants your help to get this brochure and these apps in the hands of non-readers, plus verbally tell them about it. And give them a chance to learn and acquire the skills that they have no other way of getting. VALUEUSA wishes you to give us a hand and share your voice with all that will listen; let them know about the apps and give them the codes to begin!
