2. Boys' and Girls' Literacy: Closing the Gap (2004)
Authors: Heather J. Richmond, Cheryl Miles
Collection: Research Materials
"The Boys' and Girls' Literacy: Closing the Gap" project is unique in that it aims to develop strategies that would particularly have a positive impact on boys' literacy. This holds substantial merit in that the strategies and methodologies selected to address the literacy performance of boys would not disadvantage girls. These strategies included literature circles, male mentors, and providing boy-friendly reading materials. The researchers based these decisions on current research in the fields of literacy and reading; gender and literacy; psychology; and curriculum.

4. Locus of Control and Course Completion of Adult Basic Education Literacy Program Participants (1994)
Authors: Maurice C. Taylor
Collection: Research Materials
For this report, the relationship between locus of control and course completion in an adult basic education program was investigated. Instruction was individualized; each learner was tutored by an adult volunteer. Learners were referred by social service agencies or were encouraged to participate by friends and family or through radio and television advertisements. As hypothesized, adult learners who completed the literacy program were significantly more internally controlled than those learners who did not complete the program. In addition, the dropout group included a much higher proportion of learners referred by social service agencies.

6. Working with Volunteers – 25 Ideas for Good Practice (2012)
Authors: Decoda Literacy Solutions
Collection: Learning Materials
This guide offers quick tips for making volunteer work a positive experience for both the organization and the volunteer.
The tips are organized by topic, with sections that deal with planning, recruiting, selecting, training, supervision, evaluation, recognition, and retention. Each idea contains basic information, input from voices in the field, and resources for further information.
For example, under the topic of recruiting, one tip encourages organizers to familiarize themselves with what motivates volunteers. That tip includes advice from a veteran volunteer organizer, who notes that in retrospect, it would have been a good idea to take more time to observe, interact with, ask more questions, and get more input from potential volunteers. As well, the tip includes a list of books and websites that offer more information about what motivates some people to volunteer, and what prevents others from doing so.
