"The Learning Resources site offers web-delivered instruction using CNN
and CBS 5 - KPIX (CBS Broadcasting) news stories. Western/Pacific LINCS
(part of the National Institute for Literacy's LINCS Project) and
Literacyworks, uses these stories to develop an online literacy site
that benefits all learners and instructors. This material is intended
for adult literacy and educational purposes. Though the intended
audience is adults, instructors and learners (of all ages) are
encouraged to use this material to promote better literacy.
Each module includes the full text of each story and interactive
activities to test comprehension. The learner can choose to read the
text, listen to the text, and view a short video clip of the story.
Each module is designed for ease of use so the learner can use it
independently. The instructor can also incorporate any story into class
activities and lesson plans." From http://literacyworks.org/learningresources/
