Thank you for your suggestions. We have talked to several of the local radio stations staffs, and they feel that they do enough for the local literacy center. They would be glad to sell us some air time though! I do think that "emerging" readers are enthusiastic about the subject, and, in fact, much more should be done to utilize their enthusiasm. Thanks again. Jack Fenimore Literacy NOW, Inc.
