1. 2008 Summer Tutoring Program for Kids - Final Report (2008)
Authors: PEI Literacy Alliance
Collection: Learning Materials
This is a report on the Summer Tutoring Program for Kids that runs during July and August every year in libraries, schools and community centres across P.E.I. The purpose of this program is to support the learning objectives of the school system by offering an alternative learning environment during the summer months. It gives children with reading difficulties a chance to maintain their literacy skills over the summer months and provides relevant summer career employment for qualified students. Tutoring is offered in French, English and English as an Additional Language.
This report consists of three parts: The first part includes a description of the program, its purpose, benefits, staffing, and supporters; the second part is the program coordinator's report for 2008; and the third part consists of parents' and children's evaluations of the program.

3. Annotated Bibliography of Aboriginal Books (2006)
Pre-School to Adult
Series: Annotated Bibliography of Aboriginal Books
Authors: NWT Literacy Council
Collection: Research Materials
Over the years, many people have asked us to put together a package of information on Aboriginal literature that is suitable for different age groups. That task, however, is not particularly easy. An extensive array of material is available nowadays, but should it all be included in such a list?
Considerable debate surrounds what is sometimes called “appropriation of voice” – when a person, no matter how sympathetic, depicts someone from another culture. We can only say that we have tried our best to be selective, and appreciate any feedback that people might have about our list.

4. Between the Life of the Mind and the World of Action: Explorations into Consciousness, Pedagogy, Politics, and Scientific Philosophy in Adult Literacy Education (2005)
Authors: George Demetrion
Collection: Research Materials
What follows is a bibliographic review of the author's online and print based articles and book chapters from 1993-2004 on various facets of the pedagogy, politics, and science of adult literacy education.
A strong autobiographical emphasis is highlighted especially on pp. 9-14, but more broadly throughout the text in the argument carried out explicitly and implicitly that the pedagogical and political are personal "all the way down," to quote the aphoristic phrase of pragmatic philosopher, Richard Rorty.
The common theme throughout all of the topics identified is an exploration of the complex relationship between the dynamics of the author's lived experience as a director of adult literacy programming in Hartford, CT, and his alter vocation as an intellectual seeking to make sense of the scholarship of adult literacy in light of the concrete irreducibility of his own daily practice.
