SUMMARY:NELRC: Teach ABE Reading and Writing with Relevant\, Peer-Written Content
DESCRIPTION:Using relevant\, peer-written content doesn’t just engage learners\, it builds a powerful bridge to more complex reading and writing. When students see their own experiences reflected in the material\, they’re more willing to stay with it\, even when the text gets harder. That engagement becomes a form of scaffolding\, helping them stretch their skills and confidence. \nJoin this webinar to learn more about The Change Agent\, which showcases student-written articles on a wide range of topics (disabilities\, digital literacy\, transferable skills\, immigration\, and much more). This content makes a great tool for teaching reading and writing in your ABE class. Virginia adult educators and learners can access The Change Agent online for free using the username VALRC and password VALRC2025 (password is case sensitive!). \nCome and learn about this rich source of readings—including many ready-to-use\, standards-aligned activities and worksheets. As an added bonus\, this workshop coincides with the release of the 2026 Call for Articles. Learn about how you can bring the writing prompts from the Call for Articles to your class and support your students to submit their writing to a national publication. This webinar is hosted by the New England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC) at World Education. \nRegister here.
