This guide was developed to provide adult education teachers in Arkansas with a listing of competencies correlated with appropriate materials at each level. The guide helps teachers select materials to individualize student instructional plans. It provides a variety of alternatives such as books, workbooks, software, video, and suggested reading materials to help teachers capitalize on the learning style of the student. The guide is organized in three levels: adult basic education (ABE), pre-General Educational Development (GED) tests, and GED. Each level is sectioned into five subject areas: reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. The materials are arranged alphabetically by publisher. Competencies are listed in the left margin followed by the book references with specific page numbers. Software and video materials are listed in the right column after their underlined heading. A complete index is provided, along with a listing of publishers and sources with addresses and telephone numbers. A software supplement with the same format provides additional software titles. (KC)
