Adult Literacy Research Glossary

Please comment on existing glossary entries, or add new entries as you see fit. New entries need not be completed - you can add terms that you would like somebody to define and explain. As with all wikis, this is something that is built as a community.

When using research studies to illustrate a point, please include as much of the reference as possible.
