Read to Work teaches basic reading strategies essential to success in the workplace. Based on guidelines set forth from SCANS, the CASAS, and the TABE, the six-book series teaches reading skills in the context of the 6 major vocational areas: Business, Agriculture, Service and Retail, Trade and Industry, Health Occupations, and Technology. The program allows students to choose a text in an area of interest and relevancy. Read to Work provides a bridge between academic and work-based learning by familiarizing adults with the kind of reading they will be doing in job training programs, and on the job.
