[NLA] Where do reading problems go?

[DocJN@aol.com]

Re- Tom Sticht's comments about "where do reading problems go..."  I recall 
something David Harmon said eons ago. To paraphrase, if we measured the 
target population in terms of who felt they needed the program, we are 
running in the high 90's! 

One response to where do the reading "problems" go - they follow an adult 
right into the public-funded literacy center door and all the way through a 
testing process, and show up in numbers that the educators are left to 
explain to adults who know a 5.6 when they see it, or a desired adult high 
school admission that is strongly discouraged when those numbers fall below 
9, or in repeated attempts to pass the GED which generally requires 10th or 
11th grade reading levels. Food for thought?
