Summary
	Chapter 16 describes problems which complicated the preparation of a series of primers in the Machiguenga language of Peru. Search for solutions illustrates the importance of adapting literacy materials to the linguistic structure of the mother tongue. Adaptation enhances the learning process among extremely isolated people unfamiliar with basic reading concepts.
