Hi,

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a forum where many of these leaders 
come together to discuss the present state and future direction of 
family literacy?  What questions would we as policy makers, project 
planners, practitioners in the field, and program evaluators pose? What 
action could such an event generate? Think about what happened to the 
reading field as a result of the National Reading Panel. Is it time to 
rethink family literacy designs and roles as an intergenerational 
educational intervention? We've swung back and forth from "first meet 
the needs of the adult learner/parent/guardian" to "prioritize 
performance outcomes for young children" - according to recent 
research, much of it done by these "big names in literacy" can we begin 
to think of fresh designs in terms of what works best in terms of 
targeted families' goals and are viable funding concepts? Where are we 
now? Where do we need to go next?

I consider Dr. Susan B. Neuman a big name in early literacy.  She is 
currently a professor at University of Michigan.  We brought her to 
Miami for PD with early childhood, pre-k and kindergarten teachers, and 
for a presentation for parents at one of our family learning events.  
She is fabulous.

I am curious who you would consider to be big names in literacy, both 
historically and currently?
