That worked wonderfully, but differed from many PRIME TIMEs in the high level of discussion that ensued and the fact that the parents dominated discussion.

Are these books useful for your students? Also, I have a further question which may or may not be relevant here. It is often said that adults enter adult literacy classes in order to be able to read to their children. When this is given as a reason, do teachers actually use children's books as primers for adults? That is, teaching reading through the use of children's books that a parent might want to read to a child. Thanks. Andrea
