This practitioner resource introduces the “Essential Skills for Personal Success!” curriculum, developed by Literacy Network Northeast, based in Timmins, Ontario.

The curriculum is divided into four modules that deal with managing basic needs; improving and maintaining health; handling personal issues and relationships; and participating fully as members of the community.

The authors begin with general guidelines for practitioners teaching the curriculum, then provide specific guidelines for each module. They note that the material is linked to both Essential Skills and Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) levels.
