Hi members,

Please find attached below a set of activities relating to comprehending phones messages and to filling in message forms. These worked well in a disability class. There was a lot of discussion as a group and we tried to focus on the key pieces of information that the clients need to identify for a quality phone messaage.

Hope you find it useful.

Hi all,

I have used this site previously with literacy students who are not sure what type of work they would like to pathway into. Very low level students will require support as there are a lot of questions and a lot of reading, but the class that I completed this with liked it, and completed honestly, it gave most of the students some direction

I used this article and activity in an adult literacy class with a wide range of ability levels. We read as a group, discussed various aspects of the pros and cons, completed the attached questions.
We had planned to work on debating and then debate the topic, but the students were not interested in participating in this kind of activity.

I found this blog today in my search for literacy materials and it looks interesting with links to other sites and activity suggestions embedded into the blog. I subscribed. It looks cool.

Hello members,

The 100 basic words workbook is something that I developed for use with very low level literacy clients with intellectual impairment, but have used them with other adult learners. I have experienced good success with these resources with a wide variety of clients.

I did need to point out that the crossword activity will need to have numbers added to the grid. I am really sorry about that. They are just written in on my hand outs. I am in the process of upgrading this resource. Will reload when I have done this.

Regards

Hi all users

It has been brought to my attention that some users are new to 'wikis' and I was asked what is approrpiate etiquette for this type of communication. For newbies to wikis, and professionals hoping to integrate wikis into their programming, I thought the following sites might be useful and informative.

I have only had a little play on this site, but I liked what I saw. For the literacy component there is reading, writing and spelling & grammar activities for the participants to 'play'. The great thing is the learner gets instant feedback as to whether they are correct or not.
