Citizen Literacy Tutor Handbook Part 1 Lessons 11 – 15 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This handbook takes tutors and their learners through lessons 11 - 15 of the Citizen Literacy Programme. It is designed to be used with the printed learner workbooks that are available as part of the programme series and the free web resources available from the Citizen Literacy website.

The handbook is suitable for both experienced and new literacy tutors and provides a useful and friendly introduction to the programme, lesson plans and tutor notes that are linked to the learner workbooks and free web resources. It provides a structured yet flexible educational design that can be delivered as it is or adapted to local needs (which is encouraged). For tutors who are new to adult literacy teaching and the use of structured phonics methods the handbook provides a useful training and professional development resource.

The programme has been designed by experienced literacy tutors to overcome the shortage of good quality learning resources available to help learning providers and tutors who are supporting adult learners to improve their reading and writing skills. Citizen Literacy is taking a radical approach to tackling the problem of low literacy in society by developing an integrated set of paper and digital learning resources to support tutors and their learners. The programme will also be useful for ESOL tutors to use with learners who can speak English but need to develop their reading and writing skills.

Our free web resources are enabling some of the first independent online learning opportunities for low literacy learners. From a standing start, by the end of lesson 3, learners are beginning to read and write simple sentences. The whole programme is split into 3 parts each of 30 lessons that take beginner literacy learners all the way to a good level of functional literacy that enables their full participation in society and work.

Citizen Literacy takes learners forwards simultaneously across a broad number of topics quickly to give confidence and provide practical applications of useful skills. These are the skills are developed:

• Phonics: Blending / Breaking Down (i.e., Phonological Awareness and Grapheme Correspondence)
• Reading
• Spelling
