Literacy has released a new paper, this one by Tony Peyton of the  
National Center for Family Literacy. Titled FAMILY LITERACY IN ADULT  
EDUCATION: The Federal and State Support Role, this special  
perspectives paper (15 pages) was prepared for the August 20 meeting  
of the Commission. The paper contains an Executive Summary and four  
major sections: (1) Making the Case: Why Provide Family Literacy  
Services; (2) Federal Support for Family Literacy; (3) Examples of  
State Family Literacy Initiatives; and (4) Issues & Recommendations.  
Among the five recommendations made by the author is that serious  
national and state attention should be given to the collection of  
comparable data about family literacy services, program types,  
funding, legislative provisions, and enrollments across the states,  
as well as research to fully demonstrate program outcomes. The paper
