Another Page is a 1988 adult educational television series consisting of 16 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 early- to mid-2000s. [3] [4]
In addition to aiding adults in studying for the GED tests, [5] the series was designed to teach intermediate reading skills to adults who read on a fifth through eighth grade level. [2] 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.
