Teaching Methods to Promote Reading Skills in Adults

This is a detailed lesson on the five basic principles used to promote reading skills in adults. We will break down reading comprehension and what type of instructional strategies are needed to engage adult non-readers.

Reading is a basic skill needed in many aspects of life. It makes a person able to participate more easily in society, gain access to health care, and obtain gainful employment.

Teaching Methods
Adult literacy educators will use five basic reading instructional areas according to the National Reading Association: Alphabetics, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and assessment. This lesson explains each area in detail.

- Teaching Alphabetics
We as readers use phonemes, which are basic sounds of spoken language. Graphemes are the written letters we use to represent those sounds. We use word analysis to connect phonemes (basic sounds) with graphemes (written letters) or letter combination. This process is called alphabetics. Phonemic awareness and word analysis are two big problems in adult non-readers. They struggle with applying letter-sound knowledge to understand new or unfamiliar words.

Alphabetics is taught using different oral exercises. For example, asking the adult to identify the common sounds in the words, 'grill,' 'gone,' and 'gate', or what the word 'bring' would be without the 'b'? (ring). Teaching alphabetics helps adult non-readers to master phonemic awareness and word analysis so they can manipulate phonemes (basic sounds) to form syllables, blends, and words.

- Teaching Fluency
Fluency is being able to read quickly while understanding the meaning of what you are reading. Less fluent readers spend a lot of time decoding words and sentences, which is why it is difficult to understand the overall text. The best teaching practice for fluency is repeated reading aloud with immediate feedback from the instructor. The instructor may comment on the speed and accuracy levels and help with difficult words.

- Teaching Vocabulary
We use only about 10,000 words in spoken English, while in writing we use at least a million! If an adult non-reader comes across vocabulary (words in a language), that they don't know the meaning of, their comprehension of the text will be interrupted. Even if they can sound out the word correctly, they will have trouble putting the surrounding words together into meaningful sentences.

- Teaching Reading Comprehension
When we read a text, we are able to comprehend, or interpret the meaning or message without speaking to the writer. Unconsciously or sometimes purposefully, we use comprehension strategies as a critical thinking tool.

- Using Assessments
Assessments are used to monitor a reader's progress. They are not a form of teaching but are crucial in measuring the outcomes of the activities presented. Assessment tools are wide ranging, from standardized tests to observation. Instructors need them to determine the student's ongoing reading skill level and how to address it - can the student move on to more advanced learning or do they need to review? Students are assessed in formal and informal situations.

Lesson Summary
There are five connected teaching methods used to help adult non-readers obtain basic reading skills. The methods are connected and require similar instructional strategies:
