Note to the LearnerDear Adult Learner,You are about to learn about how English works so that you can read and spellwords more quickly and accurately. This course was tested in with adult learners likeyourself in other adult education classes. The learners in these classes taught us muchabout how they learn and what they wanted to know. Here is what we learned and howwe designed this course to assist learners:What We LearnedFeatures of the CoursesAdult learners already know a lot about English.Native speakers often have large numbers ofwords they have memorized and can read.They sometimes have trouble figuring out new,long words and spelling words.We include many longer words early inthis course. We give you a lot of practicein reading longer words. We don’t askyou to spell any words that you have notlearned about.Adult learners are sophisticated learners. Theywant to know why words are spelled the waythey are, and they benefit from learning thisinformation.We have included information abouthow English words work. Rather than aphonics program, we have developed alinguistics course of study for you. Thisis a sophisticated, adult program ofstudy about words.Learning to spell is important to adult learners.Spelling is taught along with reading inthe course. You will learn the majorspelling patterns in English and use thatinformation to spell and to figure outwords.Adults are very busy people.We have created a course that is pacedmore quickly than most decoding andspelling programs. We expect that youwill work hard to understand thelanguage. If you do, you will learn faster.English is a complicated language, but it is mostly predictable. When you finish thiscourse if study, you will understand how words work. One of the adults in our study putit this way when he said, “My father doesn’t read very well. Reading has always beenhard for me, too. Now, I understand how English works for the first time. I think I canteach my dad to read now.”Learner Activity Bookv
