Hi Julie,
I picked up your request from the Assessment List, and wonder if you would 
like it forwarded to the Workplace Literacy List as well.  If so, you can 
either send it yourself if you are on the list or want to join it, or I can 
forward it for you, since I'm the moderator of the Workplace List.
