Excluded Voices: Class, Culture, and Family Literacy in Scotland.

Tett, Lyn

Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v44 n2 p122-28 Oct 2000

Examines a family literacy program based in a disadvantaged area of Scotland, to show how deficit views of children and their parents (feeling that one's own ways of speaking and writing are "wrong") might be challenged and overcome so that real learning can take place, learning that focuses on people's strengths and different types of language and literacy.
