Personally I think public and professional awareness is lagging behind
the research... so I'd love some research about that just to shed more
light on whether I"m right or not :)

Rochelle--

This would be a subheading under a purpose of , say, "Increasing 
literacy."

You are being kind--I'm trying to think this through.  What would we 
say about learning disabilities?  First would be something like:  "test

and diagnose any learning disabilities."  This might be good to start 
with.

Now, on the research part--actually, we should compile what we DO know,

so we know what we don't  have, what questions still need to be 
researched.

(Maybe i should go to bed.)

Thanks for asking this, an excellent exercise.

OK--literacy--do we need to define this?
