In poetry, prose, and correspondence, a collection of writings chronicles the development of a literacy campaign and educational program in Cobden, Illinois. The program--the Bilingual Literacy Campaign--evolved to respond to the need for literacy education among "fulanos," Hispanic-American farm laborers. The papers include the following: a 24-verse poem on the dialogue model of instruction; a report by the co-founder of the campaign (Rob Tate); a poem and description of a method used to teach one man to read and write and a learner-developed English-Spanish dictionary; a description of the events leading to the Cobden literacy campaign; a poem in Spanish about language interference and communication; a list of eight principles to guide adult literacy education; newspaper articles and a letter about the death of a local migrant worker; notes and letters on program costs and administration; miscellaneous field notes; and a creative piece on literacy and the feelings of farm laborers.
