Another Page is a 1988 adult educational television series consisting of 15 programs hosted by entrepreneur and literacy advocate Wally Amos. Produced by the Kentucky Educational Television (KET) network, it is a follow-up program to fellow adult literacy series, Learn to Read, which was first broadcast in 1987, and also hosted by Amos. The show was broadcast nationally through PBS, and continued to air in reruns as late as the mid-2000s.[3]
Format
[edit]In addition to aiding adults in studying for the GED tests,[4] the series was designed to teach intermediate reading skills to adults who read on a fifth through eighth grade level.[1] Each episode features a soap opera-like continuing story in which the characters use reading materials to help cope with situations that can and would usually be expected in real life. In a mid-episode segment known as "The Inside Story," tips and advice on how to comprehend reading, including the pursuit of the main idea of sentences and/or paragraphs, are provided in each episode by the host and a few additional instructors.[5][6][7]
