This site, www.WritingResource.org/ ,  provides a focal point for teaching and learning resources for literacy.
PowerPoint Presentations can enhance the learning process, since they provide resources for
learning through a variety of learning styles.  Online Guides to Grammar and Writing can be
made available to our students.  Excellent  English as Second Language (ESL) &
English as Non-native Language resources are also easily located.  Adult Literacy Curriculum
is not a mystery and experiments with Harnessing Technology to Serve Adult Literacy
have been productive.
