First, I am interested in knowing how you came up with the definition of ltieracy in the first paragraph of the Executive summary. Are these "common sense" definitions, or are you citing conclusions from other work? Also, it looks to me, going over the NAAL levels, TABE levels, NRS levels, there is an attempt to make these congruent; I hope I have been reading accurately. Is this true? I read on ES-6 that it was not possible to establish a one-to-one correspondence between the NRS and NAAL levels, but that there was a "rough parallel," I think this is what I am getting at. If there were this correspondence, then the literacy descripton (NAAL) would key into one of the major proficiency tests, and then the reporting/accountability requirements. Thanks. Andrea
