This website http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/ has sections for adult readers on words and numbers and a section for tutors. You can find fact sheets, worksheets, and games to improve skills, there are adult learner stories to watch and listen to, quizzes to test progress, and a Tutor Centre (it is a British site!) with lesson plans and tracking sheets. There is a link to a site called "raw" in the bottom right corner - a website that helps adults develop skills for everyday life. In the Tutor Centre you will also find a link to this site, http://www.skillsworkshop.org/workshee.htm, which is full of free worksheets and handouts for adult basic skills students. The Tutor Centre also has a link to ESOL resources - your options are endless!
