Since many learners have access to mobile phones and use them on a daily basis, literacy programs started using texting to engage with their clients. In this October 2023 AlphaPlus session, presenters spoke about the software they use and the benefits/changes they have noticed. This included the owner of a Canadian company providing texting software (including a custom phone number to display when sending a text) to help answer questions about texting tools.
