Hi Ronna--

I want to point out that "Fast Facts on Literacy" includes information drawn 
from the NALS.  It's recently come to light that the NALS was seriously 
flawed, and that the statics drawn from it are not credible.  In other 
words, we can't really point to the famous "1 in 5" statistic as sound 
research.

It will be very interesting to see how the new NAAL is designed and carried 
out, and how it will influence the framing of the field of adult literacy 
and learning.
