Padak, Nancy D.; And Others

Journal of Reading, v34 n1 p26-29 Sep 1990

Presents four strategies for exploring beginning adult readers' perceptions about reading and their abilities: (1) giving intake interviews; (2) using the Directed Listening-Thinking Activity; (3) analyzing adult's retelling; and (4) dictation by the student. Advocates use of Jane Davidson's "Holistic Reading and Writing Assessment for Adults" to consolidate the assessment information. (RS)
