The LiteracyLink Forum has a special guest this month, Toni
Cordell-Seiple.
You can read her inspiring story and submit questions to her 
through Nov.22.  As an adult learner herself, she has done a lot 
to call attention to problems of literacy in the U.S.and try to 
affect policy.

At age 47, Toni Cordell-Seiple roller skated from California to 
Florida to focus media attention on literacy problems. Once a 
non-reader herself,she felt compelled to do for others what had 
been done for her. In 1990 she
started a tour "Rollin' for Readin." She skated across country, 
making
public speaking engagements at service organization meetings, 
libraries,
schools and Chambers of Commerce.

I invite you and your learners to read her story and send her 
questions.Visit the LiteracyLink homepage at 
http://www.pbs.org/literacy and click
on Toni's name to get to her site.
