Literacy resource manual

The Literacy Resource Manual is for people who are planning and implementing literacy and education programs in minority language communities. The manual begins with an overview of community-centered literacy-for-development programs, followed by eight chapters dealing with a component of a literacy/education program in minority language communities. Each chapter includes a “work page” to assist in planning that component and additional resources to guide the reader to more in-depth information on that topic, as well as relevant examples. Included in this article are the description of the manual and chapter 1: “Overview.”
