Abstract: The article discusses the importance of implementing evidence-based reading instruction (EBRI) in adult literacy programs to support learners like Daryl in improving their reading skills. It emphasizes the need for diagnostic assessments to identify instructional priorities and provide targeted instruction in alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Professional learning opportunities for teachers and tutors on EBRI are essential for effective reading instruction, and resources are available through organizations like LINCS and ProLiteracy. By focusing on EBRI and providing tailored instruction, adult learners can make significant progress towards achieving their academic and personal goals. [Extracted from the article]
