Adult Literacy Education, v3 n2 p37-42 Sum 2021
Teaching reading to adults who struggle with literacy learning is a difficult task, and there is a paucity of evidence-based programming designed especially for them. Three research teachers describe their experiences while teaching an evidence-based reading program to adult literacy students. This article provides an overview of the program content delivered to adult learners, an account of teachers' experiences teaching this program, a description of the learners' responses to the program, and a portrayal of what the learners' responses revealed about their educational needs.
