Materials
ALTA sources books for this programme which tutors borrow to use with students. In addition, tutors collect and bring magazines, newspapers, brochures and leaflets, forms, appropriate word games with them to the Reading Circle.
Students may bring their own reading material which they want help to read, e.g. Highway Code if they are doing their driving test regulations.
