| The Rabbittown Express |
This is a paper the learners put together once or twice a year. They include their stories, poems, jokes, recipes, etc. |
|
| Letters to the Editor |
On International Literacy Day,
three learners wrote letters to the editor expressing their thoughts on
illiteracy. |
|
| First Time Readers |
This is a newspaper the Literacy
Council of Newfoundland & Labrador publishes and distributes to all
literacy organizations in the province. Our learners read this paper and
complete the written exercises. Several learners also write pieces about
themselves in the 'meet and greet' column. |
|
| Story Writing |
The learners write paragraphs and short stories. The Rabbittown Learners publish books such as Roses I've Read, Faces of Literacy, Memory Lane, Coming Out of my Shell and From my Heart and Soul. Many of these books are personal anthologies by learners. |
|
| National Adult Literacy Database (NALD) |
Learners sometimes have stories posted on-line in the NALD database's Story of the Week. Viewers can not only read the stories, but also hear them read by the authors. See NALD Story of the Week. |
|
| Poetry Writing |
The learners use poetry as a means of self expression, sometimes with the help of poetry starters. See Poetry Starters. |
