<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Practitioners often ask how they can find books,
poetry, or even simple paragraphs that relate to adult interests and
issues. I have added a few resources to the Reading section of the
ALE Wiki*, but I realize this is a very incomplete list. I wondered if we
might pool our collective knowledge to create a "go to" list for the
field. I'm envisioning this list being a list of <EM>collections </EM>of
resources rather than a list of individual titles. If you know of a site
that already provides such a list, please let me know and I'll just create a
link to it from the wiki instead of recreating the wheel:). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are interested in contributing to
the list I've started, please do the following:</FONT></DIV>

list.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U>*What is the ALE Wiki?</U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Adult Literacy Education(ALE) Wiki is a free,
online environment for practitioners, researchers, adult learners and others who
are interested in the connections between research, professional knowledge, and
practice in adult basic education, adult secondary education, and English
language learning. Like other wikis*, this is a text environment where one can
read what others have written, but also easily contribute one's own knowledge,
opinions, findings, and observations. The ALE Wiki includes discussions and
resources on a number of topics ranging from adult basic literacy, to
assessment, workforce and workplace education, and public policy. In the topic
areas are selected discussions which have taken place on electronic lists,
summaries of these discussions, links to relevant research, research citations,
bibliographies, glossaries of terms, and other resources.
