Abstract	This book is a resource for adult education teachers who want to build and strengthen adults' reading skills. It aims first to build background knowledge about reading and scientifically based reading instruction, but the focus is in applying the research on modeling thinking, planning, and problem solving in the context of fictional adult education settings. It is intended as a first resource for those with little knowledge of reading instruction and is written with the needs of teachers in mind--those who want to improve their ability to provide reading instruction for adults in family literacy and other basic education programs. This volume begins by building background knowledge of important concepts and principles and then suggests practical ways to apply research recommendations to the adult learning setting. The language and format are "teacher friendly," using student and classroom illustrations and sample instructional activities to make research principles concrete for readers. The student and class profiles in these illustrations are based on actual assessment data from adult literacy research studies--a reminder to readers of this book that it is a practical resource for use with real adult learners. A glossary is also included. Appended are: (1) Educational Research Design: Testing for Effectiveness; (2) The Content of Phonics Instruction; (3) Options for Calculating Readability; and (4) A Rule-Based Procedure for Summarization.
