In Nevada a book was developed to bring history to life for adult students who are beginning to discover the joy of reading and to let new readers and tutors tell their own stories about reading. The first part of the book includes 17 original stories written by Phillip Earl, a popular author and newspaper columnist in Nevada. Articles were selected for high interest value and adaptability for adults able to read at a sixth-grade level or above. The second part of the book includes three personal stories about reading submitted by new readers and their tutors. (MG)
