[NLA] Info: conference announcement

[David J. Rosen]

 NLA Colleagues,

Although general conference announcements are usually not appropriate 
for the NLA list, because of the recent discussion on research, I 
thought this one was.  

David J. Rosen,
NLA List Moderator

ATTENTION - To all subscribers interested in adult reading research The 
47th International Reading Association Convention will be held in San 
Francisco on April 28-May 2, 2002. As part of the Convention, IRA offers 
a series of Institutes on Sunday, April 28. You must pre-register for 
these Institutes. To download registration information or to register 
online, go to http://www.reading.org. Of particular interest to adult 
educators - and those in family literacy - is Institute #13: Teaching 
Reading to Adults: Effective Research-Based Strategies. In this day-long 
session, you will hear research findings from several ongoing studies 
and applications of findings from those studies. Included on the speaker 
list are John Comings and John Strucker (Harvard, NCSALL), Nickie Askov 
(Penn State, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy), Sandra 
Baxter and John Kruidenier (National Institute for Literacy), Judy 
Alamprese (Abt Associates), Heide Spruck Wrigley (Aguirre), and Miriam 
Burt (National Center for ESL Literacy Education). If you are going to 
IRA, I encourage you to register for this Institute! If you have 
questions about the institute, you can contact me at BLV1 at psu.edu. We 
look forward to seeing you there.
