These are the voices of four people who are having difficulty reading and writing... the voices of four out of the four million Canadians who are struggling with illiteracy. Illiteracy silences people. Their voices are rarely heard, their situations often misunderstood. Here are their own stories in their own words.
Four adult learners tell us what it's like to lack the reading and writing skills that are too often taken for granted.
The four people represent different racial backgrounds and experiences but all tell their stories in a moving and incredibly articulate manner.
Ideal for stimulating discussion in schools and within community groups. Also recommended for professionals in education and social services.
