Summary
	Deals mainly with practical aspects of literacy programs. Talks about
	orthography teaching, and primer constructions.
	"That the beginning of a literacy program is the provision of something that's worth reading. Literature that is worth reading, that people want to read is the beginning of motivation. Don't teach your people to read unless there is something for them to read when they come to the end of the process ... rather than the very general good: there is some prestige attached to being able to read" (pages 1 and following).

Evaluation
	Provides some good comments and insights.
