The BUILD Program (Businesses United to Increase Literacy Development) was conducted from June 1991 through December 1992 as a cooperative workplace literacy program joining Arapahoe Community College and four companies in Littleton, Colorado. This document consists of two modules for the reading and language instruction classes of the program. The first module, by Jennifer Burkhart, contains the following 10 lessons: learning styles, using questions, patterns of organization in written material, logical fallacies, using exacting words, words and their symbols, following directions, writing detail-oriented instructions and sequencing, training directions, and review of reading and language competencies. Lessons include an objective, required materials, allotted time, outlines of activities with instructor's notes, appendixes containing handouts or transparency masters, and individual student activities.

Lessons are as follows: "get the picture," vocabulary builder, structure and pronouns, the diary, the period and the paragraph, the word exchange, and the memo exchange.
