Reading Skills for Today's Adults: New + Improved Free Online Resources

1.5 PD Hours

You may have heard of Reading Skills for Today’s Adults (and if you haven’t, even better!). It’s a wonderful collection of leveled readings that are written with adults in mind. That means that these stories cover topics relevant to adult life like “What the GED Means to Me” and “Raising a Good Reader,” among others. 

During this session, we’ll look at all of the resources associated with Reading Skills for Today’s Adults (RSTA), including what’s available on their site, like activity supplements, passages, and placement information, and what the folks at CrowdED Learning have developed with adult educators, including Instructor Resources and an app for independent learning. 

Along the way, we will explore some effective strategies for reading instruction and brainstorm how we might leverage these resources in evidence-based practice. This session will be interactive, and by way of sharing ideas together, everyone will come away with new tools and approaches to use in the classroom.
