Gorman, Kathleen S.; Pollitt, Ernesto
International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift fuer Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue Internationale de l'Education, v43 n4 p283-98 1997

The authors first identify the grade at which most children become literate and then estimate the net contribution of schooling to literacy. They found that most children became literate with between three and four years of education. Contains 34 references. (CAK)
