Making reading a shared pleasure and a valuable skill: the Family Literacy Project in the southern Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal

Abstract

Findings from a year's research into a family literacy programme in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa are presented in this article. Of particular interest is how the combination of adult and early literacy activities has encouraged reading in families. The evaluative process involved individual qualitative interviews, material review and observation of programme activities. Detailed findings are given of one of four case studies covered during the research.
