"The loss of the Philippines to Japan during the Second World War forced Laubach to concencentrate his energies on Latin America, where some of his partisans credit him with the explosion of literacy programs that took place in the mid-1940s in the region. Laubach, to a certain degree, paved the way for Freire to follow. He raised expectations and suggested that long-standign problems like illiteracy could be resolved in fairly short order and with relatively limited resources." ^[1]

Laubach is credited with the idea that there should be a "minimum vocabulary for the average adult" which societies should aspire to meet. ^[2] Laubach's method used phonetics, and focused on everyday words people use most frequently, called "lightning literacy", used volunteers and newly literate as teachers ^[1]
