Summary
 

Divides annotated bibliography into the following sections:

 
  • Culture and cognition
  • Language acquisition
  • Training indigenous authors
  • Rationale for bilingual education
  • Functional literacy
 

Provides sources from cognitive psychology and cross-cultural studies on apparent differences in cognitive development between members of preliterate societies and literate, industrially complex societies. These differences may relate to whether students are successful in learning to read with otherwise optimal learning conditions. Study of these factors should help literacy fieldworkers plan effective programs
