My program is putting together a pilot program for learners who are in this situation because they are not, and many of the issues are second-language issues. We are calling it an ESL transitional class. Several of these learners are learners who have successfully exited our Advanced ESOL classes and want to continue into ABE, with a long term goal of obtaining a credential (maybe a GED or EDP) in English. Is anyone else providing instruction with this focus, and could share what you have found effective? Thank you... Howard L.

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 Literacy Council of Tyler (903) 533-0330 angela_r25@yahoo.com __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
