Abstract

The "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996" promises to usher in a new era of literacy programming as practitioners attempt to design short-term programs that address the academic and employment needs of low-literate welfare recipients. A comparative analysis of academic and integrated literacy/occupational skills programs is presented.
