Abstract
Any professional fundraiser will tell you that literacy, particularly family literacy, is “a sexy issue” these days. During the past few years, foundations, corporations, and civic organizations generously have distributed funds to any literacy project that appears to be effective in solving one of the nation's most debilitating problems, illiteracy. Across the nation, schools, community groups, daycare centers, and myriad other agencies all have obtained funds to develop these literacy programs.
