Value and Volume of Literacy.

Bormuth, John R.

Visible Language, v12 n2 p118-61 Spr 1978

Reports on certain social and economic indicators that provide a "modestly comprehensive" view of literacy activities, in order to extract an account of the current state and trend of the value and volume of the nation's literacy. Attempts to get a more basic than usual view of literacy, seeing it primarily as an economic activity. (Author/GT)
