Hi Angela,

Check out the "Focus on Basics" on First Level Learners http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=147
for techniques with low level learners.
A recent article in "Focus on Basics" by Susan Watson explored how she got her students from one-on-one into reading groups http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=737.  That might give you some ideas. 

What about those who have faced this situation in their programs?

Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:1511] Small groups for students that have low reading skills

Hi everyone!
Please Help!!
 I am looking for advice and resource for small group
adult reading sessions. We have a number of students
that range from the 2.5-to 4.o level on TABE. We want
to help these students raise their reading scores in
order to handle the reading in an ABE class. I
understand that it is challenging to structure a
reading group of low skill level readers because there
is such a wide range of needs. We currently have
one-on one tutors but we want a transition in to ABE
class. If any one has tips or success stories about
small group adult reading groups please reply. 

Thank you,

Angela Childers
