Abstract
This paper uses a thematic narrative analysis approach to explore the experiences of individuals who support those
living with literacy gaps in Australia. Themes of collective shame and responsibility surrounding adult literacy gaps, as well as
the communicative expertise and critical reflexivity developed by supporters in their roles, are prominent in their narratives. As
part of a more extensive study that also explored the experiences of people living with literacy gaps, the findings of this paper
highlight the need for more research into this area, particularly underscoring the importance of including first-hand accounts
from those directly impacted by literacy gaps and recognizing adult literacy supporters as a unique population.
