This report details an evaluation of the effects of outreach activities of Project Literacy U.S. (PLUS) on community responses to the illiteracy problem. Part A describes general findings regarding PLUS task force activities during the campaign's first year, December 1985-June 1987. Section I is an introduction; Section II describes activities that preceded the PLUS campaign, strategies that ABC and PBS used to develop the campaign, and simultaneous national literacy activities. Section III presents the conceptual approach and data collection methods. Section IV discusses development and functioning of task forces as mechanisms for coalescing support to combat illiteracy. Sections V-VII describe activities task forces performed to accomplish the three PLUS goals--awareness raising, community collaboration, and recruitment of volunteers and adult learners. Section VIII assesses lessons learned and presents recommendations for policy and practice. Part B presents five case studies of PLUS task forces, which illustrate the strategies used in supporting the PLUS campaign. Each description covers task force development; related literacy efforts; task force organization and operation; awareness-raising activities; community participation; volunteer and adult learner recruitment; and impact on service provision. The five task forces are Beaufort County, South Carolina, St. Louis, Missouri, Los Angeles, California, Maine, and Oregon. (YLB)

Literacy in America: A Cultural History of the Past Century is a history of literacy in the United States over the last one hundred years. Told chronologically and supported by hundreds of research studies done over the years as reported in scholarly journals, the work sheds new light on the important role that literacy and reading in general have played in this country since the 1920s. The subject is parsed through the voices of educators, intellectuals, and journalists who have weighed in on its many different dimensions. Literacy is a key site of race, gender, and class, offering insights related to the social and economic inequities that are embedded in our institutions. The primary argument of Literacy in America is that literacy, as a major part of education, has functioned as a means of social control of children, with authority figures dictating which reading material is acceptable and which is not. Literacy has also operated as a vehicle of citizenship for Americans of all ages, and as a symbol of the responsibilities of democracy. With its ambitious scope, the strives to be a seminal guide to literacy in America and add to our understanding of everyday life in the United States. Most interesting, perhaps, is the twisting, unpredictable journey of literacy since the end of World War I, when I argue that the subject’s modern era began. Rather than follow a straight line, both the perception and reality of reading swerved over the years, offering a trajectory that makes for a compelling narrative for anyone interested in American cultural and social history. Controversy of some kind has often surrounded literacy in the United States, this alone making it a fascinating source of interest to explore in detail.
