4. More Reading Materials for Stage 1 Learners (2005)
A Project Funded by the National Literacy Secretariat, 2004-2005
Series: More Reading Materials for Stage 1 Learners
Authors: Pat Neuman
This package contains worksheets which include reading, writing, document use and oral communications activities related to each of the books.
The books (A Woman's Courage, Mama's Song, Hopes and Dreams, Voice Like an Angel and That's the Way I Like it!) were graded by the Edward Fry "Graph for Estimating Readability". The books have readability levels ranging from grade 2.0 to 2.5.
Before attempting to read the books and complete all or some of the worksheets, the learners should have a fairly good grasp of beginning and mid-stage one level reading.
By the time the learners are at an upper stage 1 level, they should be fairly proficient in the skills outlined in "word recognition and graphic knowledge", and "grammatical awareness". They should also have some proficiency in the skills outlined in "reading comprehension and textual awareness". The five books and the worksheets give extensive practice in the latter.
Note: Learners can use some of the pages in the activity package to complete assisgnements for their stage books. Remind learners that they need to use a different text for each task they complete.

7. The SCALES Road Map Tool – Usage Guide & Worksheets (2012)
Series: SCALES Project
Authors: CONNECT Strategic Alliances
This document is one of the resources to grow out of the SCALES (Supporting the Canadian Advancement of Literacy and Essential Skills) project, a three-year initiative undertaken by CONNECT Strategic Alliances, representing Ontario’s 24 publicly funded colleges. The project’s goal was to develop tools and best practices that would help practitioners working with unemployed and low-skilled workers to incorporate a Literacy and Essential Skills (LES) approach into their work.
This “road map” is a needs assessment and action plan that guides and streamlines services between career practitioners and participants, demonstrating how Essential Skills (ES) fit into the process.
The road map uses the four-stage SCALES career development process. In the first stage, the focus is on assessing personal skills and gaining self-awareness, while the second stage deals with setting goals for life, learning, and work. The third stage is about determining how to reach the goals that have been established, and the fourth stage involves implementing a personal action plan.
The document contains a planning worksheet that career practitioners can use to map out the tools, resources, and workshops available to participants at their organizations. The worksheet is divided into four sections that correspond to the stages of the SCALES career development process.
