Action ABC Shares Observations in the Field

Action ABC is a non-profit organization with a national mandate to provide bilingual literacy education to people recovering from substance abuse.

Action ABC's programs are unique in providing literacy education at hospitals and shelters where substance abuse treatment is being offered.

Over the past eighteen months, Action ABC has been tracking their students in order to observe several variables including progress, retention rates and effect on learning of various substance abuses. This is very important work, as this kind of information is so crucial to the field and often difficult to attain.

Findings
Progress was monitored by tracking the number of standardized literacy levels (0-3) that a student advanced.
