[NLA] Discussion: Working effectively with the media

[DEBBYDAM@aol.com]

There may not be a home depot for adult learners, but there is a TV show and 
web site that takes a how-to or self improvement approach to reading and 
writing for pre-GED adult learners.  I am referring to TV411.  The show 
features popular celebrities and sports figures, authors and adult learners 
who share strategies for using literacy and numeracy in real life contexts.  
Check out the web site at tv411.org for broadcast times near you.  The Adult 
Literacy Media Alliance, or ALMA, creators of TV411, have liscensing 
agreements with adult ed departments in North and South Carolina and 
Massachusetts.  If you work in a program in one of those states, you should 
contact your state ed office for details on how you can get the show in video 
along with print materials and teacher's guide.  If you are interested in 
learning more about TV411, call Nancy Rademacher at ALMA at 212-807-4244.
