Greetings all,

The Partnership for Reading has 2 new resources available on Reading
instruction: http://www.nifl.gov/partnershipforreading/publications/adult.html

Applying Research in Reading Instruction for Adults: First Steps for
Teachers (December 2005)
This book seeks to build adult literacy instructors' knowledge of
scientifically based reading research and provide basic guidance on how to
use it in the classroom.

Teaching Adults to Read (Fall 2005)
The emerging principles and trends explicated in Research-Based Principles
for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction are here distilled into a
short booklet. Teaching Adults to Read addresses each component of
reading-alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension-from the
teacher's perspective, defining each term, highlighting its importance,
describing how it is assessed, and exploring its implications for teachers.
