• Using the appropriate steps set out in Adapting LEA to a group (in the tutor training manual), have trainees make a story. (It could be about what happened while they were learning TPR, for example.)
• Start the story by providing the first line. While you are writing each word on butcher paper or the chalkboard, say it.
• Have three or four trainees in the group add a line.
• Repeat each word that they say while writing it.
• Discuss different ways that they can use the short story they have now composed.
• Refer to the section of the tutor training manual entitled, Building Skills with LEA Stories.

• If you are interested in showing your group a video detailing the process, check out the kit called, Teaching Reading to Adults: A Balanced Approach by Pat Campbell. (Edmonton: Grass Roots Press, 2003.) In the fourth portion of the video " World Recognition Strategies," there is a demonstration of LEA in a tutoring situation.

• This video also has demonstrations of lessons featuring word families, sight words and phonics. These word recognition strategies are all highlighted in Session 5 of the workshop.

Review of Session 4 (Optional)

Prepare an information gap exercise for Carine.

• Show overhead, Review of Session 4 and discuss.
• Materials needed (not included in the kit): Flyers that have pictures of food with the prices (and 2 additional photocopies of each).
• Handout flyers and pair up trainees.
• In Session 5, break trainees into pairs and give them an opportunity to practice using their information gap, with one trainee pretending to be "Carine."
• Ask trainees to critique each other using the criteria set out on the overheads, Giving Feedback on Review Work. (These overheads can be used for the preview activities used throughout the workshop.)

Preview of Session 5 (Optional)

• Handout, Preview of Session 5 and explain task. Trainees should fill in the grid while they do their reading.
