A Tell-Tale Start: Speaking Books Give Voice to a New Health Literacy Approach
The world is simply too large a classroom for its limited number of teachers. This strains education systems around the world and equally health systems around the world: how do we improve access to the knowledge everyone should have to the farthest reaches of the planet?

An organization called [Speaking Books](http://www.speakingbooks.com/) has a conversation-starting solution.
