<br>
Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Some of you have emailed me that you have been eagerly awaiting the <br>
discussion on the components of numeracy study.<br>
<br>
To get full benefit from the discussion this week you will need to <br>
prepare. It won't take long. You'll find links to the readings at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/specialtopics/07numeracy.html">http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/specialtopics/07numeracy.html</a><br>
<br>
or the short Web address:<br>

<br>
<br>
So far I have not received any questions from subscribers. Please <br>
read the preparation documents and then e-malil your questions to me <br>
or to the list today.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
