I have become somewhat obsessed with finding out as much information as I can about adult literacy. I have started "googling" adult literacy almost everyday, and have particularly enjoyed some of the blogs I have come across. I am going to try posting my latest finds each week. Happy reading!
From Washington D.C.'s Street Sense: an excellent article about the shame some adult students feel about their illiteracy.

From the Durham Literacy Center, Adult Literacy Community Blog: a post about a little known syndrome some adult students are facing.

From the UNESCO Institute for Statistics: Some findings about the number of illiterate adults both Nationally and Worldwide.

Last but not least, and ad from the Ad Council called Barriers-Adult Literacy.
