No, she did not mention if any of them were non-native speakers.  She 
really wasn't inquiring specifically about those with learning disablities 
either but many of her inmates are on an extremely low reading level which 
leads us both to believe that there may be issues with learning.

Re: [LearningDisabilities] Reading curricula







Did that teacher mention whether any of these inmates were non-native 
English speakers?  They often get lumped in with others in corrections 
education and are tested in the same ways.   Robin Schwarz

Subject: [LearningDisabilities] Reading curricula


I'm writing to ask for your suggestions regarding reading curricula.  I 
have had a call from the field from a teaching in one of our local 
jails.  She wanted suggestions for reading curricula that could be used 
with her learners.  Some of them are extremely low readers (1st and 2nd 
grade) while others are higher.  They are working on GED prep for all 
but she understands that not all will achieve that goal while they are 
with her.

Do any of you have any suggestions for reading curricula that you have 
found particularly effective?
