In her attempt to find out more about literacy activities within the family context, Denny Taylor spent three years doing field work with six families. At the time of the study, each of the families contained a child who was considered by his or her parents to be successfully learning to read and write. This study attempts to develop systematic ways of looking at reading and writing as activities which have consequences in, and are affected by, family life.

Family Storybook Reading

Strickland, Dorothy S.

Literacy is not always liberating. To be lierate is a uniquely human experience; it is never a mechanical process that is solely dependent on skills that are taught. These are but a couple of the conclusions Taylor and Dorsey-Gaines reached while studing young black children living in inner-city poverty who were growing up literate.

Learning Denied is a powerful document. Denny Taylor's conclusions confirm many teachers' doubts about America's mania for standardized tests, and serve as a signal to teachers and administrators that a reliance on test results can be more than misleading; it can be a hazard to the child.

Taylor's collection of related essays demonstrates the tremendous potential for real learning and real understanding when teachers sit side by side with their students and view the world from their perspective.

One Man's Journey

Part One is one of betrayal and a path that leads into darkness. The path traces the author's life from sixteen to twenty-seven years old, and starts with the first two women he dated. He was Catholic then, and lonely. Part Two chronicles his time with Carolyn: how they met, how the Lord transferred all the love he had for the first woman he dated to Carolyn. It's about how she gave him four wonderful children, only to find out she had cancer when the last child was born. This is about how he lost everything-even his belief in the Lord. But he kept a promise that his late wife asked of him: “Keep the kids all together, under your roof, and take them to Sunday school and church. If you do those two things, the Lord will forgive all the rest.” Part Three tells of how he meets his present wife of thirty-two years and how she married into a family that had four kids-when she only had one. It visits how they started and built their business through the years. It also tells of the hurt and pain that came with the death of two sons, and how the man did not get angry with the Lord, despite how little help he received from his family.
