BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 4

Abstract

As a basic education instructor, I find that my students crave reading materials that lead to deeper understandings of, and connections to, the world that we live in. My students tend to have plenty of knowledge of human rights issues from lived experience. These issues are often closely linked to the reasons they find themselves in my classroom. New vocabulary is highlighted throughout each story, and then summarized and defined in a Glossary placed in the appendix at the end of the book. Font size and line spacing can be adjusted in the online view, and have been enhanced for the print and PDF versions for easier reading. This reader has been reviewed by subject experts from colleges and universities. I hope these pages help learners to reach their individual literacy goals, while building capacity to create positive social change in our communities.
