[AAACE-NLA] immigrants with a high school diploma [faked-from ]

[George Demetrion]

Andrea,

 

This is an important consideration.  A lot of the impact among those
students at a pre-GED level is subtle, often elusive, and sometimes
related to these areas as you mention.

 

I'm compiling a report on about what about 20 students in our program
learned last year, including the utilizations of literacy in the
external environment.  I hope to place the document on a web site, which
if I'm successful, I will provide the link.  For starters here's the
questionnaire that some of the students filled out on their own while
others did so with the assistance of their tutors.

If the parents are poor, their children may not have necessary access to
medical care, nutrition, vision, hearing,and dental care.  All these
correlate with school success.  Literacy is a gateway to a higher
economic level.  Where possible, adult literacy programs should
incorporate links to these resources for the parents so they can help
their children.
