Choosing & Using Books With Adult New Readers

by Marguerite Crowley Weibel

To become lifelong readers, adult literacy students need books that will amuse, entertain, and challenge them to think. This title is designed to help librarians connect new adult readers with books and to acquaint literacy teachers with materials generally available in their public library that they can use or adapt. Each chapter covers a different type of Poetry, Nonfiction, Picture Books, Newspapers, Comics Collections, Reference, etc. An annotated bibliography of approximately 100 titles appears at the end of each chapter, along with a suggested range of reading ability for each book. Choosing And Using Books With Adult New Readers concludes with a summary of sources to help identify additional titles as they become available.

Nothing incredibly groundbreaking but some good, general ideas and most of the book recs stand up after 20-some years.
