7. Creating Authentic Materials and Activities for the Adult Literacy Classroom (2003)
A Handbook for Practitioners
Authors: Erik Jacobson, Sophie Degener, Victoria Purcell-Gates
This handbook draws upon the findings of a five-year study of adult literacy education in the United States, entitled “The Literacy Practices of Adult Learners Study,” or LPALS. The study supported the hypothesis that the use of “authentic” or real-life materials and activities in the classroom led students to increase their literacy activities outside the classroom.
This handbook is aimed at teachers and administrators who want to make instruction more meaningful in terms of their students’ lives outside the classroom. The authors have included chapters on learning literacy in context; getting to know students; and authentic thematic activities for the classroom.
The authors have also included a list of resources for teachers who want to incorporate authentic materials and activities into their teaching.

8. Creative Arts Therapy Program 1998-1999: Report and Evaluation (2000)
Authors: Liza Miles-Husain, Sharen Johnston
The objective of the project was to provide a program of creative arts therapy to literacy students at Victoria READ Society. The program was designed to offer students an opportunity to explore life issues through art in a group setting to facilitate awareness of behaviour or emotional issues which may interfere with the student's access to further training and future employment. The program was initiated by teaching staff at Victoria READ Society who recognised that many students need support beyond literacy training in order to achieve their goals or make changes to their personal circumstances.
This innovative project was established to determine if providing individual and group counselling sessions through the use of art therapy would help literacy learners to :
1- reduce personal and often overwhelming barriers to learning, and
2- improve a learner's ability to seek and give support in the class, at home and at work.
