ABLE Curriculum Guide 1994. A Resource Listing for ABLE Practitioners.
Royce, Sherry, Ed.
This bibliography lists 52 recently published resources for adult basic literacy education (ABLE) and English-as-a-second language (ESL) adult learners. The materials featured were selected from more than 350 books, videos, and computer-assisted instruction programs evaluated by a panel of Pennsylvania ABLE educators. The guide, the fifth in a series of annotated bibliographies of ABLE learner resources developed in Pennsylvania, is divided into eight subject matter units rather than student levels of achievement. The units cover the following topics: life skills, family literacy, vocational skills, mathematics, reading, pre-General Educational Development (GED) and GED, social studies, and writing. Each resource listed is identified as follows: by purpose (academic, vocational, family literacy, life skills); setting (class, tutor, or self-directed); format (core series, basic text, supplemental reference); level (adult literacy, ABE, pre-GED, GED, or multilevel); and skills (critical thinking, grammar, mathematics, reading, social studies, spelling, and vocabulary). A short description is provided for each resource, along with a rating by the evaluators. A bibliography listing 10 teacher resources and learner materials, a list of publishers' addresses, and indexes by publisher and by subject are included. (KC)
