X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Status: O Content-Length: 664 Lines: 18 Hello, I'm new on this list and I'm from New Zealand. The government here is beginning to want to improve literacy. They are looking toward developing a national assessment system for literacy as well as improving teacher training etc. I'm just curious about your perspective, given that the US is a little further down the track on the literacy campaign than we are, is there anything that you wished you'd done differently in terms of focus, training or developing the assessment system. What kind of advice would you give a country if it were just starting out on its quest to improve literacy based on mistakes or successes you've made? thanks, Catherine
