Ottakee Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I am looking for ideas on books to use to teach an adult to read. I LOVE the materials by Sound Foundation, Apples and Pears Spelling and Dancing Bears Reading Sound Foundation books. Just wondering if there is something else out there that is really good and easy to use. Caveat....this will be used in a prison by one prisoner to teach others to read so needs to be soft cover, no staples, reusable, etc. but effective. Obviously, no "adult" content either.

alisoncooks Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Toe by Toe is often used for the type of teaching you describe. https://www.toe-by-toe.co.uk/toe-by-toe-in-prisons/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Phonics Pathways, by Delores Hiskes It's a single, softcover book that teaches phonetic decoding. I used it with all three of my kids, and they were all reading fluently by the end of the book. There's nothing cutesy or babyish about it, and nothing complicated. You just start at the beginning of the book, and work through it, page by page. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKS Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Once a student gets beyond the basic phonics stage, REWARDS would be good, but I think the workbook has staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Laubach Literacy teaches adults to read. Their materials are free, I think. (Tutored adults thru LL about 28 years ago.) Phonics Pathways would be my choice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staples can be removed, and the pages sewn/tied together, perhaps right through the staple holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
