Here's an idea that has worked elsewhere: introduce your adult new readers to the exciting and attractive world of children's literature. In addition to the delightful fiction books, there are wonderful non-fiction books available on (almost) every topic now and for readers of varying skills. Many would be very appealing for adults to read in class, and after they have mastered the reading, they will be able to read them with their children. Talk to your local children's/youth services librarian about doing a presentation for your class! Excitement is guaranteed!
