First line
To enter the world of adult low literacy is to enter a world unlike any other.
From the rear cover
?This book is challenging, useful, insightful, authoritative, and hopeful--one that every adult literacy education policy and program leader, researcher, and practitioner should read. With this work, Allan Quigley has made a first-rate contribution to our field.?--Jean H. Lowe, director, GED Testing Service Most efforts to eradicate illiteracy fail because they emanate from a political and social perspective that has little bearing on reality. In this thought-provoking book, B. Allan Quigley challenges the faulty assumptions and misguided agAndas that shaped past efforts at literacy education. Quigley offers a new view of illiteracy that starts with the learner and takes into account a broad array of work, family, and cultural considerations. This guide gives adult educators and trainers currently working in the field concrete suggestions and alternatives for their work, and provides them with historical and evolutionary frameworks that they can use to shape a new philosophy of adult literacy and improve their practice.
