To the Adult Literacy and Family Literacy family, 

In celebration of International Literacy Day on September 8th, the
National Institute  for Literacy invites you to attend a special webcast
presentation on the 2003 National  Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL).
This session will be an interactive presentation  providing a brief
overview of the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL),
followed by a question-and-answer period.

As the most recent adult literacy assessment conducted by the National
Center for  Education Statistics (NCES), the 2003 NAAL will provide the
first assessment of the  nation's progress in adult literacy since 1992.
The 2003 NAAL will provide information  about background factors
associated with literacy, the skill levels of the  least-literate
adults, and the application of literacy skills to health-related
materials.

NAAL will provide objective information on the background
characteristics and literacy  skills of adults age 16 and older.  Such
information will prove most useful to  educators, practitioners,
researchers, and policymakers at the federal, state, and local  levels.
For example, it can help improve adult literacy programs, provide better
services to low-literate adults, and enrich the theory and study of
literacy itself.  To  learn more about the 2003 NAAL, visit our website:
http://www.nces.ed.gov/naal/design/about02.asp.

I am looking forward to sharing information about the 2003 NAAL and
answering your  questions about the assessment. International Literacy
Day was first observed on  September 8, 1967, with the aim of focusing
attention on the need to promote worldwide  literacy.  We hope that you
have time to join us in this webcast presentation.  Please  mark it on
your calendar.  

Sincerely,

Sheida White
NAAL Project Officer
