The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) has developed four new workbooks for literacy learners at Levels 1 to 2. These workbooks are for adults living in Ireland who want to improve or practise new words, reading, writing and spelling skills.

The workbooks were developed for literacy learners and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) learners. They are designed for adults who want to learn skills they did not have the chance to learn before or want to brush up on “rusty” skills. Learners can use the workbooks on their own or with the support of a tutor.
