This report examines three strategies (phonics, oral reading fluency and sentence combining) used by teachers in the project being reported on. These three teaching strategies had been identified as being 'promising' in terms of their potential to assist in the progress of adult literacy learners, and therefore, worth investigating via evidence-based research.

The report concludes with recommendations for adult literacy theory, policy, practice and further research. Show less
