There would be no way to send the training per se, but you can get the
book upon which it's based: "Applying Research in Reading Instruction
for Adults: First Steps for Teachers" (McShane, 2005). It's available
online at www.nifl.gov/  Just click on publications and you'll find it.

 

You can order a free print copy by contacting the National Institute for
Literacy at ED Pubs, PO Box 1398, Jessup, MD 20794-1398. You also can
call 1-800-228-8813, or email edpubs at inet.ed.gov

 

I have been doing this training in lots of other places, too, so if your
program or state is interested in scheduling a workshop, contact Ann
Reynolds at NCFL: areynolds at famlit.org

Pre-conferencesession

 

Greetings!

 

If you're interested in adult literacy, you may want to attend the
pre-conference session I'll be presenting at the COABE conference in St.
Louis on Monday, April 28th. It's titled, Adult Reading Instruction:
Research-Based Strategies for Meeting Varied Needs. 

Have you ever wondered why some adult learners struggle with their class
work--why they "give up" quickly or make little progress over time?
This session offers a brief overview of the research, focusing on common
reading problems.  Research suggests that one source of difficulty may
be a deficit that isn't reflected in a TABE or CASAS test score.  This
training introduces the components of reading that may contribute to a
reading problem: alphabetic skills, fluency, vocabulary, and
comprehension.  It also introduces common reader profiles identified by
research and suggests resources for initial diagnostic assessment.
Finally, participants learn and practice a selection of research-based
instructional strategies for addressing adults' needs in the
reading-component areas.

This full-day training is sponsored by the National Center for Family
Literacy. 

To learn more about the conference, check out the web page at

To register you can go directly to

I'm looking forward to a stimulating, interactive session. Please come,
so we can all learn more about addressing this important need!

 

See you in St. Louis,

 

Susan
