Hi All,

Robin gave us a lot to absorb, and a lot of specifics to try to
incorporate into teaching and teacher training. It would be helpful to
share ideas and resources that can help with the specific suggestions
she recommended. (Thanks, Jean, for pulling those other resources from
the ESL discussion for us!)

Does anyone know of resources to share in the following areas:

* phonological awareness: how to assess and how to practice
* phonological memory: how to assess and practice
* tracing/handwriting or other fine-motor practice for adults
* the world's languages and cultures--is there a resource to help us
learn about a language (is it written? type of approach to writing?) and
culture (communication style?) I'm thinking about the Sudanese men and
what would we do if there's no expert available...
