Community-Based Literacy Learning.
Behrman, Edward H.
Reading: Literacy and Language, v36 n1 p26-32 Apr 2002
Explores the operational definitions of community-based literacy learning, first by discussing literacy as situated activity and then by proposing three separate orientations to the concept of community as it relates to the literacy curriculum. Discusses three different orientations to community that appear in the literature on literacy reform: experiential community, classroom community, and anticipatory community. (SG)
