One difficulty in tutoring learners with intellectual / developmental disabilities is finding reading materials which are geared to lower level readers and which are relevant to their life experiences. Writings by other learners can fill this need.
Several learner writings follow. Twenty-six different adult literacy learners from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia created the 35 readings.
Learners and tutors can use them for reading and for reading-related literacy activities. Pictures are included to boost the readers’ comprehension.
A few writing samples are also included in this Section.
