This is a posted clarification on behalf of Cesar Watts.

Thank you for your reply but let me clarify my request, as I'm actually
looking for different information. The learner that I referenced in my
previous request is actually looking for resources that she can use to
educate herself, and in turn, educate her children on her own. She is not
interested in participating in or attending any formal programs. Do you
have any advice about information that I can share with her (for example,
internet sites with literacy lesson plans for adults/children, reference
books, etc.)?

Subject: non-reader who wants info on adult ed

Dear Friends:
Do you have any advice for me to share with an adult non-reader(native
english speaker) who is interested in obtaining information about basic
reading and writing? A woman called me the other day and she is interested
in educating herself and supporting her children's emerging literacy
skills. I can help her out in relation to children's literacy, but wasn't
sure where to send her for adult education information, as she has very low
literacy skills.
