Teaching Adults to Read
This booklet summarizes the emerging principles and trends in adult reading instruction identified in a report of the Reading Research Working Group: ResearchBased Principles for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction.This group of adult education and reading experts was established by the National Institute for Literacy and co-sponsored by the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy. Its purpose was to identify research-based principles for adult reading instruction.
The series is based on a three-day workshop on the four components of reading, developed by three experts in the field of adult basic education and literacy: Dr. John R. Kruidenier, Susan McShane, and Dr. Rosalind Davidson.
