So as context, I am a part of a small proto cadre organization, with around a dozen members. We study theory together, and are heavily involved in organizing in our local area. Some of my comrades really struggle with reading comprehension, to the point they really struggle to understand even essay length texts-- and not for lack of trying, these people genuinely do want to learn and study. They are just people who have been severely failed by the American education system. I am in a strange position; I am looked to for help as I read a lot and have more of a background in theory than most of them. But I don’t really know how to help. I was a terrible student and I barely graduated high school. Reading is just something I’ve done a lot of for as long as I can remember. Does anyone have any advice on how I can better support my comrades?
I don’t have useful contributions, I just want to say that I have nothing but love and solidarity for you in your efforts. We meet the people where they’re at, and learning to read is so revolutionary in its own right.
