Just a quick reminder that this Tuesday Oct. 13th, NIFL will be starting a brand new NIFL electronic discussion list. The name of the list is the Reading and Writing Skills List. If you are interested in subscribing, please go to:
http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/readwrite 
and subscribe. 
 
The list will focus on topics such as motivation and reading/writing, diversity and reading/writing, component skills of reading/writing, reading/writing instruction, reading/writing strategies, reading/writing skills necessary for post secondary and workplace settings, and child/adult differences in reading/writing.
 
I hope that you will consider joining, and contributing a technology focused voice. For example, it will be interesting to hear your view on how technology can help/hinder reading and writing skill acquisition. Your technology voices will be welcome as we explore the various reading and writing topics.
 
Please help spread the word around. The list won't be active until Oct. 13th, so if you have questions before then, please feel free to email me at: dgreenberg at gsu.edu
 
When you subscribe (http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/readwrite) please don't forget to answer the confirmation email that you receive (until you do so, you won't be officially subscribed).
