Abstract	This resource handbook addresses the problem of illiteracy in correctional institutions and focuses on practical methods for improving the reading skills of offenders. It defines illiteracy, offers statistics on its incidence in correctional institutions, and lists barriers to overcoming the problem with suggested solutions. An overview of methods and techniques for teaching reading describes the approaches of language experience, individualized reading, programed learning, basal reader, and phonics, and lists strengths and weaknesses of each method. Techniques to motivate reluctant learners and reinforce various reading skills are presented through activities using music, television guides, newspapers, telephone books, and catalogs and through a schoolwide approach. A bibliography for students lists books by grade level under general subject categories of Multi-Ethnic Americans, Black Americans, Sports, Indian Studies, and High Interest Low Vocabulary. Publisher and price information is included. Information regarding selection of diagnostic tests is offered, along with a brief description of appropriate tests for adults. An extensive list (113 pages) of commercially-prepared reading materials provides information about availability, purpose, entry level, readability, target group, format, and cost. Also provided is a directory of volunteer organizations that can be of help in teaching reading in correctional institutions. (NJ)
