The results are very positive. The website is not only bilingual, it is phonetic and interactive - with sound. In other words it focuses on teaching pronunciation. I hope some of you find it useful.

We're looking for a Keynote Speaker for our 39th Annual State Literacy Conference, and we'd like to know what it would take for the next President to be considered "The Literacy President." Please see the announcement below, and please feel free to share this with anyone in the field of literacy. We're eager for national perspectives, and are not limited to a California speaker. Peace, Matthew Scelza Statewide Programs Director California Literacy, Inc. 133 N. Altadena Drive, Suite 410 Pasadena, CA 91107-3333 626-395-9989 ext. 20 FAX 626-395-9987 Helping adults and families since 1956 Keynote Search 2004 California Literacy We believe that the adult education and literacy system is at a critical moment in its history. That belief is reflected in our conference theme--"Bridges to the Future: Information, Access, and Action". Future services are threatened by budget cuts and different priorities. At the same time, politicians are rushing to embrace "standards" and "accountability." What to do about it? We're looking for you to answer the challenge. The prize: You get to be the Keynote Speaker at our 39th Annual State Conference in San Francisco on October 14, 2004. That's right. No more talking heads. No more leaving the conference general session thinking, "I could do better than that". You're the Keynote Speaker, and you get to tell us exactly what's right, what's wrong, and what we can do to improve adult education and literacy. This is a contest. We're asking you to submit your best response to these questions: "What would it take for the next President to be considered ‘The Literacy President’? What policies and actions would be required to earn that title?" Give us your answer on one side of one sheet of paper, with one-inch margins and 12-point font. To keep it simple, we’re not reading any submissions over the one-page limit. If you win, you’ll present the keynote address to a statewide audience of adult education and literacy providers on Thursday, October 14th at the Opening Session of our 39th Annual State Conference. We'll also pay for your airfare, hotel, and food during the three days of the Conference—that’s a free trip to San Francisco! Every submission will be considered for publication in an anthology of responses to this query. Are you up to the challenge? Deadline: July 15, 2004 Submission Information: Fax: 619-291-7324 Email: kendavid@caliteracy.org Mail: California Literacy--San Diego Office 2225 Camino Del Rio South #A San Diego CA 92108 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
