Description / Comments:
Describes and analyzes how an Urban Appalachian woman who
could not read or write progressed to functional levels
when instruction involved her in reading her own language.
Argues that educators who failed to acknowledge her
language as an integral aspect of her as a learner may have
denied her previous access to literacy.
