| Abstract | The 1975 report "Toward a Literate Society," commissioned by the United States Commissioner of Education, displays the following weaknesses among others: in making recommendations the editors ignore or contradict information contained in the individual papers; many issues relevant to literacy are omitted; and the report virtually ignores the majority of students in focusing on exceptional readers. Although there are some valuable papers, those on beginning reading and adult literacy provide no new information, and the book fails to meet the original goal of suggesting major strategies to implement changes on a national scale. In contrast "A Language for Life," or the Bullock Report, also published in 1975, is based on a systematic, detailed examination of the status of education in English schools. This report emphasizes language development activities for all age levels, and addresses most recommendations to individual teachers as the persons best able to effect change. Seventeen principal recommendations are made for improving literacy training in the nation's schools. The report has already had impact on reading teacher training programs in England. (GW) |
