We would like to learn from adults who made very significant progress in their reading development (say from below a 4.0 to GED, or close to it) what they think were the key factors (people, events, activities, materials, etc), that enabled them to accomplish this. We are hoping that by learning directly from learners, we might develop some really helpful and unique implications for practice. However, to do this, we need to find learners who fit the description. This is where we would like some help and input from you. If you or anyone you know can put us in touch with learners who moved from being very low level readers to ones who read quite well now and were able to get over the literacy "hump," it would help us tremendously. We are looking for around 10 adults who fit this description. Each will be interviewed for about an hour and will receive $50 for their time. Please e-mail me if you know of students who would be interested in participating, have other suggestions for identifying students who would be helpful for this study, or have questions. My email address is nova.iza@gmail.com Thanks! Izabella Waszkielewicz Graduate Assistant
