Dear Family Literacy Teacher,
My name is Julie McKinney, and I am working with World Education, Inc.
on a Family Health Literacy Resource Project. We are collecting
materials to
help teachers address the health concerns of families in their programs
while
teaching literacy.
Our first step is to find out exactly what kind of resources would be
most useful. So, I am sending this e-mail to ask for your help. If you
can,
please take a few minutes to answer the questions below.
If you respond by FEBRUARY 23rd and include your mailing address, then
we will send you a copy of our latest resource guide and a copy of the
new
Family Health Literacy Compendium when it is published.
You can send your answers to me by e-mail, fax or mail. If you respond
by e-mail, please use my direct e-mail (below). For the sake of the
other
list members, PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND BY CLICKING "REPLY", unless it is an
issue for the whole group.
Thank you so much for your help!
