This guide, one in a series of works dealing with adult literacy education, is designed to help adult reading program staff to select adult literacy materials. Examined in the first section of the guide are the commercially prepared basal and supplemental reading materials that are available for use in the Jefferson County Adult Reading Program (JCARP) in Louisville, Kentucky. The second section contains general criteria for evaluating reading materials and a guide for determining readability levels of published materials. Provided in the third section is a descriptive listing of other sources that contain bibliographies of adult literacy materials for student and professional use. An overview of some common instructional approaches for teaching reading to adults (language experience, individualized reading, linguistic, programmed reading, modified alphabet, machine presented, diagnostic-prescriptive and eclectic approaches) is appended to the guide.
