These teachers who work with high school students and adults seemed very excited about SIM Strategies. The director has asked if there is research that shows SIM Strategies are as effective with adults as with adolescents. I came across one article: Effective Literacy Instruction for Adults with Specific Learning Disabilities: Implications for Adult Educators ( Hock, MF 2012) that was in the Journal of Learning Disabilities 45 (1) 64-78, but I haven’t purchased it yet. I was wondering if it would have the information I need. Would this be a good article to purchase and/or are there others that might be helpful?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank You,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Eileen Zazzaro<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Learning Strategies and Content Enhancement Professional Developer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:ezazz@comcast.net">ezazz@comcast.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>802-447-7798 <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
