Favorite Food

Submitted by Kim Hinton, Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute

 

"Favorite Food" is a lesson designed to teach simple charting skills to nonreaders. The lesson uses a chart created with pictures of commonly enjoyed food and a bar chart that is completed by students voting on their favorite foods. Results are charted and then comparisons can be discussed. The lesson also involves learning sight words for the foods on which they are voting and an opportunity for extension in discussing favorite recipes.

It presents best practices, current research on adult learning and literacy, and how research is used by adult basic education teachers, counselors, program administrators, and policy makers. Focus on Basics is dedicated to connecting research with practice, to connecting teachers with research and researchers with the reality of the classroom, and by doing so, making adult basic education research more relevant to the field.
