Thanks to Kim and Josh, I will follow up on the references.

>From today's New York times (available on the web), p. A33 "A small-scale attack on urban despair," a descriptin of a charter school, inner city Boston, which uses EXACTLY THE SAME TECHNIQUES I remember being used in the study of preschoolers I am looking for.  This is a high school. 

I would be really interested in knowing if any adult literacy programs are going in these directions.   Yes, I know there is a problem in adaptation, but these programs work, are modeled alike.
