In my opinion the best instructional materials for begining readers are
books,
anthologies, stories, etc. written by the learners themselves. They
usually
have a simplistic sentence structure and are on topics adult new readers
could
be interested in. Many programs across the country have long published
student-written materials. We just held an Authors Night where students
read
from our newly published Collections 2003. Students love to read what
they and others have written!
