Comprehension check
These questions ask students to recall details from the text, to find the main idea, and to make inferences based on what they have just read.

Talk about it
Ask students to divide into pairs or small groups to discuss each of the three questions. Assign one person as a “recorder” and another as the “reporter.” Have students report back on their small-group discussions. Make a chart of the advantages and disadvantages of homeownership.

The Looking further
section will give you some possible responses. See if your students can come up with other, creative responses.

Managing the classroom environment: Individualized instruction
Many adult basic education programs rely on individualized instruction to meet the needs of students at a variety of levels. Many of the sections of the workbook can be assigned for individualized instruction. Students can self-check their answers with the Answer Key. Some activities designed
for group instruction can also be adapted for individualized instruction. For example, the questions in the Talk about it section can be given as writing assignments. Be sure to allow time to read and discuss together what the students have written.
