PSU program helps adults learn to read
By SUZANNE KULP
Collegian Staff Writer
Imagine going through life, from high school
through a career to retirement, without knowing
how to read.
From not understanding traffic signs to not
knowing how to sign their names, illiterate adults
face embarrassment, fear of competition, fear of
changing their lifestyles, and sometimes a lack of
motivation to attend classes, when it comes to
learning how to read.
"It's not that illiteracy is new, but that more
people are aware of it . . . We need to read more
than before," said Eunice Askov, professor of
education at the University.
There are 548,000 adults in Pennsylvania and 23
million adults nationwide who are functionally
illiterate unable to read, write, and calculate
well enough to function in society, according to an

Associated Press article released during the sum

But a new University program may bring hope
to many illiterate adults.
At the Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy, a
new computer program is designed especially to
help adults overcome the difficulties of learning to
read, said Askov, who is also director of the
institiute.
"Already there are calls for it all over the
country," she said.
The computer course, made up of 28 discs of
instruction, games, tests, and word processing, is
the first of its kind that does not require reading
ability to operate. The course is designed for a
home computer, Askov said. In addition to learn
ing how to read, people also learn computer
literacy.
Computers also create a sense of pride in the
beginning reader, Askov said, because many read
teach adults who cannot read basic skills. There are 548,000 adults in
PeOnsylvanla and 23 million adults nationwide who are functionally Illiterate.
ers don't know how to use a computer.
According to Askov, the program is unique
because it concentrates on word recognition rath
er than on grade levels. The student is taught up to
1,000 target words, with the idea that comprehen
sion will come only after a certain vocabulary is
mastered
The program, which began in fall 1984, will
complete field testing at the Rockview State Cor
rectional Institution this month, she said.
Priscilla Carman, a tutor for the Midstate Liter
acy Council, a non-profit organization based in
State College, tutored one man who finally knows
the joy of being able to read food menus and labels
for the first time.
The man was ecstatic when he first read the
directions for a TV dinner. Just knowing that
removing the foil from the chicken is what makes
it crispy was new knowledge for a non-reader,
Carman said.
