Hi, all

I'm at the meeting of the National Center for Family Literacy and am trying to speak to the resources for native language available to practitioners and learners.  We are hoping to make state directors aware of these resources and provide access for programs


*         basic literacy development in Spanish (or other languages)

*         development of literacy and content knowledge in the native language

*         credit and certification for classes taken in the home country (for late entry adolescents)

*         assessment of L1 proficiency (writing)

*         Spanish GED

*         on-line resources for developing literacy skills and content knowledge - linked with (academic) credit for having taken these courses

As to the last question, I'm hoping some of you might have experience with Plaza Comunitaria and tell us how you have used the Portal.  To read more, please look at
