adult literacy training:
cognition
automaticity
conscious strategies
techniques pre reading, during reading, after reading
relationship of reading and writing
genres each one requires different skills
There is so much more than just knowing the words!!
I think that there is value to reading aloud to students. This can be a way to model reading skills.
Skill study often does not make it to actual reading because students do not understand how and when to apply techniques learned.
Reading passages together in class also has value for this reason.

Adult ESL is one place where students work together to help each other. Being in touch with other teachers helps teachers keep up with what is happening in the field as well as gives them new ideas to try out in the classroom.

I agree on what the book says that "in reading, there is much more than just knowing the words!" It's not something like you know every single word in a sentence and then you could get the whole meanings of it.
It's interesting that you should mention it, Lilian. I had a student, who asked me to help her just today - she translated all the words on an assignment, but was still unable to understand WHAT she had to do.
