Extract

Literacy (i.e., the state of being literate) produces change both in individuals and in social groups (Akinnaso 1981, Ong 1982). Change through literacy may be realized in incresased skills and reasoning abilities, may be called improvement, and may be measured against established norms, or it many be measured by changed attitudes, belief systems, and cultural patterns (cf., Bendor-Samuel 1980).
