Hi Everyone,

I don't mean to interrupt the present discussion about video, but I do
want to give you a quick heads-up on next week's discussion:

Next week, June 12-16, Alisa Belzer will discuss two of her articles
from FOB.

Influences on the Reading Practices of Adults in ABE
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=1108
      and
Learners on Learning to Read
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=1110

The first article examines case studies of three learners and the
reading that they do outside of class to learn how this influences their
learning, and how teachers can encourage out-of-class reading. The
second describes a unique study where students were interviewed to give
their own assessment of what factors influenced their success in
learning how to read.

Please pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested in this
discussion. They can subscribe to the list at:

We'll post some discussion questions by Friday morning.

All the best,

Julie
