According to UNESCO's statistics, the number of illiterates in the world is verging on one million. A conservative estimate of the number of children who have no access to schooling brings that figure to more than one hundred million. School failure, brought about by overcrowding, poor facilities, unqualified teachers, and lack of materials only adds to the problem. The authors in this volume cover the many facets of the fight for literacy.

This is a compelling, eye-opening portrait of two communities in Philadelphia with drastically different economic resources. Over the course of their10-year investigation, the authors of this important new work came to understand that this disparity between affluence and poverty has created a knowledge gap--far more important than mere achievement scores--with serious implications for students' economic prosperity and social mobility. At the heart of this knowledge gap is the limited ability of students from poor communities to develop information capital. This moving book takes you into the communities in question to meet the students and their families, and by doing so provides powerful insights into the role that literacy can play in giving low-income students a fighting chance. Important reading for a wide audience of educators, policymakers, school reformers, and community activists, Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance: Documents how inequalities begin early and are reinforced by geographic concentration. Compares community libraries to see how print is used in each neighborhood and how children develop as young readers. Looks at patterns that create radical differences in experiences and attitudes toward learning prior to entering school. Explores the function of technology as a tool that exacerbates the divide between affluent students and those with limited access to information. Provides a comprehensive analysis of community literacy, documenting the transformation of media habits from books to computers. Concludes with a look inside schools to answer questions about what schools can do to overcome this complex, unequal playing field. Susan B. Neuman is a professor of Educational Studies at the University of Michigan, and has served as the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education.Her books include Changing the Odds for Children at Risk. Donna C. Celano is assistant professor of Communication at La Salle University in Philadelphia. “Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance depicts a stark reality: the enormous and growing divide in literacy and reading skill development between children growing up in poverty and children from the middle and upper classes—and the social and economic ramifications. This book should be required reading, not just for those in the education and policy fields, but for anyone who cares about the lives of children and the health of our society.” —Kyle Zimmer, President and CEO, First Book “‘By walking the streets, riding the buses, and taking the subways,’ Celano and Neuman give us a groundbreaking and sobering look at print and education technology resources in two neighborhoods, one wealthy and one poor. The result is a must-read eye-opener for anyone who cares about equal opportunity. The stuff of learning is essential but insufficient. Only with close teacher, parent, and student-to-student coaching can better print and technology resources make a difference.” —Eugenia Kemble, Executive Director, Albert Shanker Institute “The authors of this text make you CARE about these communities and children. They provide insights about how we must focus on literacy in order to make a real difference in the lives of students. This is one of the most comprehensive analyses to date of community literacy, documenting the transformation of media habits from books to computers.” —Linda B. Gambrell, Distinguished Professor of Education, Clemson University

Indonesia seems to be succeeding in its fight against illiteracy due to the choice of Bahasa Indonesia, a simple language, as the national language and as a unifying force. A literacy campaign is based on Package A, a group of 100 booklets. The main effort is to form groups that meet regularly and are taught by volunteer tutors. Many Package A booklets teach money-making skills, since women feel they can not join learning groups because they need that time to earn extra money. To put these skills into practice, a group can borrow money to use as working capital or to buy equipment. The structure to fight illiteracy is in place, and the political commitment and international support are there. Obstacles are older learners, lack of printed material, and holding students' attention. The whole literacy campaign hinges first on the tutors and second on the peniliks, field staff who supervise them. Incentives to motivate tutors include letting teachers earn credits toward promotion, competitions, and loans. Help with basic needs is provided to the poorest before attention is turned to learning. An effective way to break the continuous circle of neglect in which girls are trapped is to spend money on women's education, which is relatively inexpensive compared with other development investments and has the potential to transform society. More local libraries are planned to provide a plentiful supply of reading material to prevent people from slipping back into illiteracy. (YLB)

Designed to help communities in preliterate societies break the barrier of illiteracy, this book presents a simple basic foundation for literacy instruction that can be handled by local people with little experience. The book explains each step with great detail. The four chapters are as follows: (1) "Local Language Literacy and Developing Countries," with sections on how local programs, a multi-strategy method, and the community framework can help solve literacy problems; (2) "The Multi-Strategy Method and How to Use It," with sections on the ideas behind the method and both story and workbook tracks; (3) "The Community Framework and How to Use It," with a guide for local language coordinators (i.e., what to know to begin, organizing communities, training teachers, writing books, beginning classes, checking and testing) and a guide for experienced workers (beginning plan, organizing, and the training course); and (4) "The Local Language Literacy Program in Practice." Ten guides are presented for a story track, workbook track, writing stories, cutting stencils, silkscreen printing, workbook writing, story book writing, survey, silkscreen building, and alphabet. A word list and index are included. Also given are 11 lesson plans, 6 models (beginning plan model, price list model, roll book model, checking visit checklist, literacy certificate, and program teacher certificate), and 21 additional models that comprise nearly 60 pages of the book.
