Johnny Came Back to School but Still Can't Read. A Reflection upon Seven Years with Adult Basic Upgrading.

Pritchard, Rolf R.; Yee, Helen

Education Canada, v29 n1 p43,44-48 Spr 1989

Examines the failure of adult literacy programs in North America. Argues that the problem's scope and funding limitations demand cost- effective measures: prevention of early childhood deprivations that stunt cognitive development, replacement of many full-time programs with part-time or drop-in programs, and use of volunteers.
