Other Literacy Training Materials Two of the most widely used curricula are described below. Many other resources are available through the links that follow. The Laubach Way to Reading (LWR) is a basic reading and writing series developed primarily for adults with little or no reading ability. The series consists of four skill books and correlated readers for student use. The teacher’s manual for each skill book gives detailed instructions and lesson plans. The series provides a systematic development of basic reading and writing skills. Each lesson includes vocabulary development, phonic or structural analysis of words, a short story reading, comprehension checks and writing practice. The skill books and correlated readers may be used with both speakers of English and those who are learning English. A separate series of manuals, the Laubach Way to English, provides complete instructions for teaching the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing English to the non English speaking student. The Wilson Reading System is a research based reading and writing program. Its basic purpose is to teach students fluent decoding and encoding skills. From the beginning steps of the program, it also includes sight word instruction, vocabulary, oral expressive language development and comprehension. Throughout the program, a ten part lesson plan – designed to be very interactive between teacher and student – is followed. The lessons progress from easier to more challenging tasks for decoding and then spelling. The system ends with fluency and comprehension work. NRP offers a free PowerPoint/Overhead Presentation of the Voyager Series, a nine level program for adults reading anywhere from a zero to an eighth grade level. Voyager combines a contemporary theme based approach with elements from traditional direct instruction. Reading and Spelling Via Phonics (RSVP) provides a clearly structured phonics approach for adults reading at a fourth grade reading level and above. For information, contact delcolit@erols.com. The National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy’s publication, Creating Authentic Materials and Activities for the Adult Literacy Classroom, is based on the findings of the NCSALL “Literacy Practices of Adult Learners” study. This book is an introduction to providing literacy instruction based upon the literacy needs and interests that learners have outside of the classroom. The publication is available free to Florida literacy practitioners. Order online.
