refreshers in fundamental reading, writing, and math skills
as they relate to getting, keeping, or advancing in a job.
Lessons

An orientation segment touches upon the use of the different
components included in this series. The lessons are written
at a pre-GED level, and can help prepare adults for the
GED tests. Four workbooks accompany the series.

several episodes in one sitting, or repeat lessons as often
as desired.

streaming is FREE for RI residents attending adult education
programs and those looking to enhance their career skills
while studying in their own at home.
