Good morning, Tom, All,
Tom, Like George, David, and perhaps others, I find myself wondering what your 
intentions are.  Even remembering back to a converstation on positionality, I 
recall your *changing* the subject to phonics when Rick asked you his very 
important question as to why you believe issues of sexuality are not related 
to adult literacy.  It seems you keep pulling us back to phonics, without 
sharing as to why, or what your experiences/interests in professional 
development have been in providing phonics training as PD.

Without providing insights into your experience and purpose here, one may be 
left to assume something that is not altogether true, and I, for one, do not 
want to do that.  Perhaps if you shared a little more about yourself & your 
professional experiences, Tom, we, as a group, could collaborate in 
constructing a new understanding of reading theory and PD practice.  Are you 
open to that option?

Best,
Jackie Taylor
