"The Learning Edge": A(nother) Newspaper for Adult Learners
This online newspaper has interactive stories with sounds and videos. It also has tests on subjects like math and reading. Subjects include: health, safety, work, and other life skills. Learners can hear articles read to them and they can read along with the text. Some adult learners will be able to use this site alone while others may benefit from tutor support. Be sure to have your sound on when you go to this site - the verbal instructions start immediately.
