Show moreThis ethnographic, single-case study was conducted over a two-year period. It documents the changes that occurred in the life of a forty-two year old female as she gained reading and writing skills in a literacy tutorial. This documentation was based on numerous personal journals that she dictated and wrote., Although her income level or economic status did not change significantly during the period of the study, her individual reading scores rose from lower elementary to post-secondary level. In addition, according to her, what changed in her life was her self-concept with respect to reading and writing, and her insight into the historical value of what she had learned outside of any educational setting. This change or growth process was paralleled to the Kubler-Ross model (1975), and was compared to the Belenky, et al. model (1986)., A ten-step program and process model for the Personal Reflexive Journal was developed and is included in this study for use with adult literacy students who are learning to express themselves through writing.
