29. The ACME Guide to Literacy Practice in Community: A Conversation for Literacy Practitioners (2009)
Authors: Anne Docherty, Sandra Lavallie, Dee McRae
This guide grew out of a project entitled "From the Ground Up: A Research-in-Practice Approach to Outcome-Oriented Program Evaluation," undertaken in British Columbia.
The authors explain that the guide was originally intended to be an informal introduction to measurement in literacy practice. As they wrote, they found themselves thinking more about the complexities of literacy itself and the essence of literacy practice.
As a result, the guide became a conversation for practitioners and tutors in adult literacy settings about the nature of literacy and the implications for practice. It is intended as a professional development tool that will encourage reflection about how literacy and literacy progress are defined.
The authors present the material mainly through dialogue balloons, similar to those seen in comic books or graphic novels.
They have included a list of websites that provide information and resources relevant to the guide’s recurring themes.

Series: Adult Learners’ Week in Nova Scotia
Authors: Literacy Nova Scotia
In 2009, the theme for International Adult Learners' Week (IALW) in Nova Scotia was “Living and Learning for a Viable Future – The Power of Adult Learning.” Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS) celebrated the week a writing contest.
Winners in the contest’s four divisions were invited to present their submissions at a reception in Halifax. Here, the winner in the video category describes how learning changed her life.
Born in Mexico, she moved to Lebanon at the age of nine. She was married at 17, and widowed at 19. While she wanted to finish her education, the principal of the local school said her age and marital status made that impossible.
In 2004, she and her son moved to Canada to start a new life. She signed up for an adult learning program and is making plans to get her high school diploma, go to university, and become a pharmacist.
