Literacy instruction materials developed by literacy workers are presented. Most of the materials are intended for a variety of student proficiency levels; one is intended for teachers. The first four sets, all illustrated with photographs, include a story about playing the lottery, the description of a shopping trip for jeans and shoes, a narrative about a trip to a bank to open an account (banking forms are illustrated here), and exercises in describing pictures and personal experiences in writing. The fifth set of materials consists of lists of sentences to be combined by students in various ways, using grammatical principles and punctuation. The final set offers ideas for classroom activities to encourage independent reading in students. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
