Summary
Details

Looking for inspiration that brings a smile, ideas that spark reflection, or a behind-the-scenes look at the experiences which shape adult literacy services? Reflections on Adult Literacy stories highlight lessons that are sometimes bold and sometimes nuanced. They will inspire, challenge, and stay with you long after you've finished reading. Drawn from the author's forty years of experience creating and managing adult literacy programs, this book offers a deep appreciation for how literacy programs enrich the lives of everyone involved. For staff, volunteers, and anyone passionate about the power of reading, it provides an engaging perspective and an insider's view of the work.

As stated in the Foreword by America Learns Founder Gary Kosman, ""Cathay doesn't just recount four decades of experience, she gently shifts how we see the people and the possibilities at the center of literacy work. ... This book is an invitation to slow down, to notice, and to reflect. To see adult learners as teachers. To recognize that change, whether in literacy or leadership or life itself, comes not from control but from curiosity, compassion, and respect.""
