Congratulations, Jeff and other "spiders" and "spider sponsors." The Spiders 
at Work web site is a great resource. The list of participant projects is 
impressive. The projects will add significantly to the amount of web content 
available for adults at low literacy levels. Folks who are interested should 
browse through Steve Quann's project (the only one online at this point). It 
is an online instructional supplement to The Change Agent newspaper (a 
newspaper on civic and social issues for adult learners). Steve has 
developed interactive quizzes, reading comprehension and vocabulary 
development activities to go along with selected articles.

Please keep us posted, Jeff, as the other projects come online.

Best,

--Emily
