Danny, Learner
Danny has acquired many skills that include repairing chainsaws and lawn mowers, shoveling snow, providing general maintenance and painting. He keeps up with the news of the day by watching TV and listening to the radio. However, for Danny, reading a story or a book for pleasure or necessity has not always been possible-until recently.
Now he can often readily correct his own errors.
He describes some of the benefits of reading as follows: reading stories to his grandchildren; reading a book from cover to cover (he enjoys reading books from the literacy section of the public library and from the supplementary reading books in the tutoring room); reading instructions with regards to safety; reading grocery lists, labels on food products or signs at grocery stores and markets.
Danny is progressing.
