Broken Words - Why Five Million Canadians are Illiterate (1987)
Southam Literacy Report, The
Authors: Peter Calamai
ISBN: 0-9693221-0-0
This booklet contains articles about literacy that originally appeared in newspapers across Canada during September, 1987. Many are based on the extensive findings of a national literacy survey of 2,398 Canadian adults commissioned by Southam Inc. While the survey provided the first real statistic about the state of literacy in the country, interviews with more than 100 literacy workers and learners also put a human face on a problem that affects one in four adults.
