Now, if someone can amplify on the following two points, we will be in a 
much better position with respect to this document.

•	Low self expectations.  In addition, students who have had trouble 
specifically in reading during school not only struggle to learn to read but 
often suffer from poor self- efficacy and self-respect. They learn early 
that they must be “dumb” since they have trouble learning to read. This 
perception follows them through adulthood, regardless of their gains in 
reading skill.

•	Lack of use. Moreover, the literacy skills that students might have had at 
one point in their lives diminish if not used on a regular basis.  Many 
adults who enter programs in their 30s, 40s and 50s have read little or 
nothing since they attended school as children or teenagers.  Whatever 
literacy skills adults possessed in their youth, however modest, the use it 
or lose it saying has much applicability here.
