[NLA] Re: Why so much interest in adult reading?

[Belzera@aol.com]

An important omission to my overly quick summary of reading research in adult 
literacy--Daphne Greenberg has done some interesting studies that compare 
adults and children who test at the same level.  She has also done some work 
on how adults respond to instructional programs designed for children and 
teens.  I'm sure Daphne could do a better summary of her work than I could.  
Forgive me for any and all other major omissions.  My main point in my 
previous post is that there is this small body of case studies that are 
interesting and helpful and maybe not thoroughly mined.
