							| Hi everyone   Have you had experience teaching adults illiterate in their first or other languages prior to learning English in their new English speaking  country?  [Especially if they come from preliterate societies]   If so, could you share some tips here?   Maybe some websites, books and resources that helped you?   Thanks   Jayho |  13 Mar 2012

							| Sorry, no, but I have heard they can manage to learn writing ABC quite soon. Reading is much more difficult, if I were you, I would stick to the "sight words" method.
 Phonics rules might be too complicated for them...
 You may start with the very common vocabulary, key nouns and verbs and adjectives - flashcards - picture + words...
