DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis series, edited by Michael W. Galbraith, explores issues and concerns of practitioners who work in the broad range of settings in adult and continuing education and human resource development. These books provide information and strategies on how to make practice more effective for professionals and those they serve. They are written from a practical viewpoint and provide a forum for instructors, administrators, policy makers, counselors, trainers, managers, program and organizational developers, instructional designers, and other related professionals. This book is designed to teach literacy providers and classroom instructors how to recognize specific learning disability (LD) patterns that block reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic skills in students of all ages. One of the major problems faced by literacy providers is keeping low-skill adults involved in basic education programs long enough to increase their literacy skills to the level of success. This book will show instructors at all levels, and especially instructors in adult education, how to modify teaching strategies and curriculum to accommodate the special needs of LD learners.
