=== 推動識字的計劃 ===
在識字發展中，在家中非正式的學習扮演重要的角色，不過小學課程也會提高兒童的識字率。許多識字推動計劃也會強調公共教育的持續普及<ref>Wagner, Daniel A., Fatima Tuz Zahra, and Jinsol Lee. (2016).

青年以及成人的識字計劃，常常是源自大型國際發展組織的贊助，例如[[美国国际开发署]]就找了[[比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会]]和{{le|全球教育夥伴關係|Global Partnership for Education}}支持開發中國家兒童識字率的「早期閱讀評估計劃」（Early Grade Reading Assessment）<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180831204829/http://eddataglobal.org/reading/ Early Grade Reading Assessment].</ref><ref>Bartlett, Lesley and Julia Frazier (2015). "Literacy and Development." In ''Routledge Handbook of International Education and Development''. Edited by Simon McGrath and Qing Gu. {{ISBN|1317752236}}.</ref>。像是{{le|國立成人繼續教育學院|National Institute of Adult Continuing Education}}等識字倡議團體，常常會呼籲聯合國教科文組織、[[國際勞工組織]]、[[世界卫生组织]]及[[世界银行]]優先支持成人女性的掃盲計劃<ref>National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (2012). ''[http://www.learningandwork.org.uk/sites/niace_en/files/document-downloads/womensrighttoliteracy_web.pdf Women's Right to Literacy: Advocating Women's Right to Access Learning Literacy through International Development] {{Wayback|url=http://www.learningandwork.org.uk/sites/niace_en/files/document-downloads/womensrighttoliteracy_web.pdf |date=20160701135029 }}.'' Leicester: NIACE.</ref>。推動成人識字的計劃也常會伴隨著其他的計劃進行，例如在[[埃塞俄比亚]]、[[摩洛哥]]和[[印度]]會結合成人識字計劃和職業訓練，以鼓勵女性及其他缺乏工作機會的邊緣化族群的人參與訓練，並且設法處理其生活上的需求<ref>UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (2013).

{{le|聯合國教科文組織終身學習研究所|UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning}}在2013年發表了一組個案研究<ref>{{URL|http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002225/222588e.pdf}}</ref>，是許多成功增昇女性識字率的計劃。這個報告提到的國家來自不同的地區，所得水準也不同，反映了「需要讓女性取得識字能力，來增進她們的權力」。<ref>UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (2013). "[http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002225/222588e.pdf Literacy Programmes with a Focus on Women to Reduce Gender Disparities] {{Wayback|url=http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002225/222588e.pdf |date=20180712193531 }}." Hamburg: UIL. p. 7.</ref>。UNESCO之所以推動掃盲，有一份是為了回應全球化以及所產生的「向知識化社會轉變」的趨勢<ref>UNESCO (2006). "[http://www.unesco.org/education/GMR2006/full/chapt7_eng.pdf Mapping the Global Literacy Challenge] {{Wayback|url=http://www.unesco.org/education/GMR2006/full/chapt7_eng.pdf |date=20181226143650 }}." In ''Education for All Global Monitoring Report''. p. 187.</ref>。全球化帶來挑戰，但也帶來新的機會：許多教育及發展的專業人士認為新的資通訊科技可以提昇兒童和成人識字的可能性，甚至是那些一直努力用傳統方式提昇識字率的國家也是如此<ref>Wagner, Daniel A., Fatima Tuz Zahra, and Jinsol Lee.

非營利組織LitWorld在2007年成立，目的是為了提昇全世界的識字率。LitWorld的本部在美國，此組織發展了許多全球的計劃，不分兒童的種族、性別及經濟能力，要教導他們聽說讀寫的語言能力<ref>{{Cite web|title=Our Approach|url=https://www.litworld.org/approach|access-date=2021-04-20|website=LitWorld®|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422162926/https://www.litworld.org/approach|dead-url=no}}</ref>。
