Hello,

I know that there have been discussions in the past, addressing best approaches to identifying literacy levels in adults. I have been asked to comment on a teaching tool which identifies "literacy level" under the "Barriers" section. I would like to offer the education committee some constructive feedback as to respectful, competent ways to approach patients when needing to ascertain their current reading/writing/comprehension abilities and when asking how well our educational materials meet their needs.

Thank you.
Rosalie Miller
