Frequently Asked QuestionsWednesday, July 25, 2007What tools can I use to teach an adult to read?Hello Let's Go Learn, I would like to see if you could help direct me. I am going to teach a 23-year-old young man to read. I will need tools to help teach him the basics and I don't know where to start. I found "Hooked on Phonics" on the internet, but the cost was $300.00! Do you have any suggestions about other tools I may use to help? Thank you.Posted by Anne-Evan Williams at 12:53 PM.
