This booklet is intended to assist tutors in helping transitional and low-level adult basic education (ABE) students acquire the reading skills required to make a successful adjustment to regular ABE classes. The exercises provided are intended primarily for use in student-tutor learning teams, with students gradually completing greater portions of the exercises on their own as they become increasingly self-directed. Exercises are provided to help students learn to read and comprehend simple narrative and factual paragraphs, recipes, bar graphs, charts consisting entirely of illustrations and charts containing numerical material, maps, explanations given in the form of multiple-column lists, and diagrams typically appearing in textbooks. A sizable portion of the exercises is intended to help students learn to handle the types of multiple-choice, short-answer, fill-in-the-blank, matching, puzzle, and true-false exercises that are typically encountered in classroom situations. A 115-item bibliography concludes the document. (MN)
