Description
BlueSky Learning Ltd was commissioned by Learning Connections to provide a programme of professional development seminars focussing on the teaching of reading to adults, aimed at adult literacies tutors across Scotland. The programme was organised around three seminars in Glasgow and Edinburgh. This handbook has been created through an action research process carried out by adult literacies tutors who attended the course and from inputs delivered by researchers and professional experts from NIACE and the Institute of Education, London.
The pack introduces some key concepts on the teaching of reading to adults including phonics, effective teaching and learning, and working with mixed ability groups. It is a rich resource for professional development uses as well as for individual tutors who are looking for inspiration.
