Contents - Annual Review: Volume 1
Written by diverse experts in the field, the articles in this first volume examine:
- The National Research Council report on "Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children" and its implications for adult literacy
- The recent influx of youth into adult literacy programs
- The overlap between ABE programs and developmental programs in community colleges
- The critical links between health and literacy
- Assessment practices in adult ESOL
- The challenges of integrating electronic technology into adult literacy programs
Each annual review will
also investigate the adult learning and literacy system of a foreign
country facing challenges similar to those in the United States. This
volume describes the adult literacy system of the United Kingdom,
highlighting features that can be adapted in our own nation.
