Reading is a crucial skill for adults participating in social and work contexts. However, its importance can often be missed in the programming of adult literacy classes. Where reading has been a focus in adult literacy and English as a second language (ESL) classes, activities often focus on assessment rather than the teaching of reading. That is, the activities are more about seeing who can and cannot read, and are generally not concerned with extending the reading ability of the student. This guide outlines a way to apply a more systematic approach to the teaching of reading in adult literacy and ESL classes. |
