AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'While the education of all Australians should remain the role and goal of government, the grassroots, community work of the Australian book industry facilitated by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation has created a model for what is possible in terms of increasing Indigenous reading rates through strategic, culturally appropriate and interesting approaches. This paper aims to give a brief history of the ILF with some statistics on Indigenous literacy and discusses some of the reasons literacy rates are so low in remote communities. It ends with testimonials from those benefiting from the work of the Foundation.'
