STALD: Screening Test for Adults with Learning Difficulties and Strategies for Teaching Adults with Learning Difficulties.
Montgomery, Dorothy
Part I of this document contains materials that relate to the Screening Test for Adult Learning Difficulties (STALD). The test, other testing materials, and test administrator's sheets are provided as attachments. The test is aimed at screening adult learners individually to see whether characteristics common to adults with learning difficulties are present and, if so, to prescribe specific materials and methods known to be successful with them. It is designed to be administered by supervisors, adult education teachers, or volunteer tutors within a time frame of 35-45 minutes. Instructions explain how to administer the three parts of the test--basic and perceptual screening, word identification test, and reading passages placement. Other sections address test interpretation and implications for remediation. A remediation chart is keyed to STALD errors; bibliographic data including source and price are given for materials cited in the remediation chart. Part II contains instructional resources for the remediation model for use in adult education or adult literacy settings. Contents include characteristics of adults with learning difficulties, principles for teaching learning disabled adults, techniques for teaching adults with learning difficulties, a curriculum for decoding instruction, and lists of instant words (frequently written English words) and protective words and phrases (used frequently in signs). Appended are an adult screening test and a STALD score sheet. (YLB)
