This Mexican series of instructional materials is designed for Spanish speaking adults who are in the process of becoming literate or have recently become literate in their native language. The reading/writing workbook is presented in two volumes along with a teacher's manual for an adult literacy program directed at rural inhabitants of Mexico. Pictures and fill-in-the blank exercises appear frequently in the book. Topics covered include family and community life; food, nutrition, health, and hygiene; work and the connection between rural and urban life; and traditions and popular culture. These materials are designed to support and motivate adult students while they learn to read, write and do basic arithmetic problems. (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse for ESL Literacy Education) (CK)
