GED

BOOKS

GED Skill Books
Steck-Vaughn
When students reach the final stretch before the GED and need lots and lots of test-taking practice to master the question format of the test, these slim paperback volumes are handy and economical. Both New Readers Press and Steck-Vaughn sell a version of them. The Steck-Vaughn Skill Books break each test area into many subdivisions. The books are laid out very much like the GED itself; therefore, their use may well enable a student to feel competent and prepared when they get to the real thing.”

Number Power 7, Problem Solving and Test-taking from Contemporary Books.

WEB SITES

GEDonline
www.gedonline.org

www.cnn.com
This is the only web site I regularly use. I also find that News for You (from New Readers Press) and any local newspapers make for great material.

www.coloradoadulted.org
This is a great website for all kinds of lesson helps, links and resources for adults for the GED. While you are on this site, look at the At-risk Student, CO Adult Education & and Family Literacy and Teach Beat. Teach Beat leads to Using Context to Teach.

www.amby.com/GED
This is a good web list for GED/ABE I liked the Vocabulary University.

www.vocabulary.com
Separated into three levels of difficulty, these free interactive vocabulary puzzle and activity sessions use Latin and Greek "roots and cells" to help unlock word meanings.
