Literacy Across The Lifespan: What Works?, Timothy Shanahan
Literacy Across The Lifespan: What Works?, Timothy Shanahan
Community Literacy Journal
This article explores similarities in literacy learning across various life-span stages and considers what actions must be taken to improve literacy attainment and achievement, whether the delivery site is prekindergarten, elementary, secondary, adult, family, workplace, volunteer, or community literacy. The emphasis here is on what it takes to successfully teach individuals to read and write well separate from any adjustments that must be made for context or learner characteristics. Research is examined for five essential variables in literacy learning, including (1) amount of teaching; (2) content of instruction; (3) quality of instruction; (4) student motivation; and (5) alignment and support.

Poetry From Solentiname, Nicaragua, Martha Lorena Sandoval Obando, Alexander Carbonero, Johana De Los Ángeles Masis
Community Literacy Journal
Ernesto Cardenal, former Minister of Culture of Nicaragua and recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, began painting, wood carving, and poetry workshops on Solentiname—an archipelago of 36 islands and 1,000 people—in the mid-1960s as part of his developing an artistic and contemplative community among sustenance farmers and fishing families. Forty years later, he continues to spend time on the islands and the church he built there, and holding poetry workshops as recently as January 2008. These poems are from young people who participate in the community poetry workshops.
“You Have To Knock At The Door For The Door Get Open”: Alternative Literacy Narratives And The Development Of Textual Agency In Writing By Newly Literate Adults, Lauren Rosenberg
“You Have To Knock At The Door For The Door Get Open”: Alternative Literacy Narratives And The Development Of Textual Agency In Writing By Newly Literate Adults, Lauren Rosenberg
Community Literacy Journal
This article is part of a project that involves case studies of four adults who attend an informal literacy center. I examine people’s motivations to write when their main purpose is not to gain a degree or other credentials. Here I focus on one study member and how she uses writing to gain textual agency. By composing narratives that investigate her social positioning, this woman rewrites her own story. I demonstrate how her texts and interview comments reveal a strong desire to connect with public audiences so that other people might follow her model of speaking out to change culture.

Rhetorical Witnessing: Recognizing Genocide In Guatemala, Elizabeth A. Flynn, RüDiger Escobar Wolf
Community Literacy Journal
The article explores the rhetorical dimensions of witnessing. We concentrate, in particular, on two groups: 1) university students at the University of San Carlos, Quetzaltenango, whose murals are dramatic reminders of the massacres that resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 indigenous people in the 1980s and early 90s and of the corrupt governmental leaders responsible for them, and 2) U.S. accompaniers sponsored by an organization within our own community, the Copper Country Guatemala Accompaniment Project (CCGAP).
