About this title.

If you are starting an adult on an individual literacy programme then this is an essential resource to use. Starting with why we read and establishing reading needs and levels, this straight forward and most practical book helps a tutor work through with a student a number of points such as techniques for learning to read, hints for reading, how to extend reading vocabulary and knowledge and developing a personal reading plan. Each skill and its purpose is clearly defined and accompanied by practice activities that are relevant and taken from real life contexts.

By the time an adult has reached the end of this book, the challenges of being able to list what they would personally like to read and defining short- and long-term goals will be able to be easily and confidently met.
