(My adviser is John Comings, the director of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy.) For my dissertation, I am looking at instructional practices in urban family literacy programs across the country in order to get a better idea of what kind of instruction is taking place and how this instruction is similar and different in different cities as well as in different types of programs..." There is one type that will NOT be found in any of the cities you study is including and that is: "Starting a Tutoring Course for Family Members in Your Local Adult Community Education Program" one that is specifically designed to help parents learn how to tutor their child when the child first begins to experience difficulties in learning to read and spell.
