Introduction

About the Resource

This resource is designed for adult English language learners who can read basic words and sentences. It can prepare students who wish to enter into academic studies. This reader was created in tandem with the Foundations of Listening, Speaking, and Pronunciation OER by Professor Larissa Conley. It also supports the writing portion of Conestoga College’s Reading and Writing Fundamentals course.

Readers are invited to provide feedback on this Open Educational Resource and share any concerns, suggestions, errata notes, or ideas for enhancements with the Open Learning Team at Conestoga College.
