The National Institute for Literacy, Partnership for Reading,  
Publications Web page has a couple of resources that are of interest  
to adult education instructors. One is entitled Applying Research in  
Reading Instruction for Adults: First Steps for Teachers. The author  
says the book "aims first to build background knowledge about reading  
and scientifically based reading instruction." The book is full of  
student and classroom illustrations and sample instructional activities.

The second publication is entitled Teaching Adults to Read. This  
booklet  "describes strategies proven to work by the most rigorous  
scientific research available on the teaching of reading." It  
summarizes the trends and principles identified in the 2002  
publication Research-Based Principles for Adult Basic Education  
Reading Instruction.

Both publications may be viewed and may be downloaded from:
