Editor's Choices: Links for Literacy Practitioners
There are now so many adult literacy sites on the web that literacy practitioners prefer to check out recommended sites. See Managing the Adult Literacy Information Goldmine. This page will serve as an ongoing reference list. We are starting with editors' suggestions and will add links you recommend. If you maintain a site and would like EAL to provide a link to that site please let us know. Editors will check out the link, and then add it below.

The most useful site is still my
own state resource center.This
site provides links to
student, tutor, administrator and research literacy sites.
Check this out and check out the
literacy resource center in your own state.

Literacy Centers)

I found several sites recently on using picture or predictable books with secondary readers. I think this one would be most interesting for tutors and teachers working with adult readers.
Picture Books for Secondary Students
This site gives an listing of picture books for secondary students. No
annotations. These are sophisticated picture books and worthy of
discussion and exploration.
