This book is the first comprehensive history of how the American
people achieved varying degrees of literacy from early colonial
times to the modern era. The authors demonstrate that literacy
education is not synonymous with schooling. By focusing on people
rather than statistics, including literacy among women and minority
groups, they explore the literacy agents, methods, and materials
used at different times and places throughout the history of the
country. The authors define literacy as the degree of interaction
with written text that enables individuals to be productive members
of their societies. Family literacy is essential to awakening the
personal responsibility and motivation necessary for children to
develop a love of reading. This effort requires more intensive
collaboration procedures between the home and the school, some of
which are detailed here. Based largely on primary materials, this
historical survey reveals important lessons from the past that can
be applied to achieve higher levels of 21st- century literacy.
