educators. They have four hours of activities assigned before
the workshop. As part of the reading assignment, they can select
one of four articles:</div>
<div><font color="#000000">To find the articles, go to</font><font
color="#0000FF"><u>
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=167</u></font><font
color="#000000"> and select either<br>
<br>
<i>What Silent Reading Tests alone Can't Tell you<br>
</i>or<br>
<i>There's ReadingŠ..And Then There's Reading<br>
<br>
</i>These articles are about reading in general. If you want to
read more specifically on first level readers, go to</font><font
