Literacy, Minimal Competence, and What We Can Learn from Iceland: Suggestions on How to Cope with the Literacy Crisis.
Overview & Synopsis
Attributes much of "illiteracy" and "learning disability" in Canadian schools to factors such as parents' social class, definitions of literacy, and validity of readability measures. Iceland's tradition of family responsibility for early childhood education, status for national authors, and home exposure to reading might be used to encourage true literacy. (NEC)
