- Summary:
-
The "Ready-Set-ABE" project was initiated to address the special needs of students entering adult basic education (ABE) programs directly from literacy training or others at a low level of ABE performance. The program was designed to provide these students with the tutoring they need to function successfully in mainstream ABE classes by introducing them to the more sophisticated reading, language, and math skills encountered in ABE classes (as opposed to those required for participation in adult literacy programs). A tutor training packet and three exercise workbooks that were geared specifically toward meeting the needs of transitional and low-level ABE students were developed. The tutoring program was used during the 1986-1987 school year with students who were identified as reading on the borderline of or below a fifth-grade reading level. Of the 18 students who participated in the program, 12 gained at least one grade level in their reading abilities. Six students found employment (better employment), five entered other training programs, one received a General Educational Development (GED) diploma, and four successfully completed some GED testing. Only 2 of the 18 students left the program early (1 moved to another area). Examples of parts of the reading, language, and math exercises developed for the program are included in this project report. A 115-item bibliography concludes the document. (MN)
