> Hi Lisa,

We will have that information available in our Expecting the Best
curriculum.  The ETB curriculum is for ESL learners, but I'm told that it may work
well with adult basic education learners (ie., low literacy native English
speakers).

That part of the curriculum will be ready by the end of July, earlier
probably.  I'd be happy to send it along if you're willing to test it out for
us  - we're piloting materials in 2003.  Spring 2004 is our target for a
finished product.

Hi there -
I'm looking for a document literacy curriculum that could be used in a
waiting room, specifically prenatal clinics, this curriculum would give
a health educator or a literacy tutor tools to help parents know what to
expect when looking at medical forms, and gives them some simple
strategies for filling out the forms.  It would be great if they then
had a "generic intake form" to take away with them to use when filling
out the myriad of forms that comes with new parenthood.  

Does anyone have anything like it or know of someone who has developed
something like it?  I really don't want to have to write it myself!
Thanks,
Lisa
