Literacy is a fundamental skill that enables adults to live productive lives, participate in the workforce, support children's education, and engage with their community and government. Reading is one of the most powerful skills humans develop—but unlike speech and visual processing, it requires explicit instruction to integrate brain processes. This CoP presents evidence-based strategies for reading instruction in adult education, informed by the Science of Reading. It is designed for literacy instructors (i.e., English Language Arts and English as a Second/Additional Language) in adult education programs (ABE, ASE, HSE, and ESL).  Participants will gain tools for assessing and teaching the essential components of reading—alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
