I live in Africa, and in many houses there are these "gateboys" who are typically teenage boys that came from some small village far away to the cities looking for work. Their jobs involve opening the gates for visitors, gardening, cleaning and so on. They have a lot of free time on their hand. And many of them are saving up with these jobs to be able to go back to school and learn to read.

With the power of the internet, surely there must be some kind of material that one can print out that can act as a self-learning course for a person to learn how to read. The boys may or may not know how to read the alphabet, but they certainly know how to read numbers (from their phones).

My ideal would be if one could print out some kind of book that the teens can use to figure out how to read, and just distribute it to them. What is the best approach to go about this?
