Colleagues,

Our discussion on the components of numeracy has come to a close.  I  
want to thank our guests, Myrna Manly, Lynda Ginsburg and Mary Jane  
Schmitt for joining us, and for their terrific contributions.  I also  
want to thank those many subscribers who joined in and added greatly  
to the discussion.  This was one of the liveliest and most  
informative of our discussions.

The discussion is available in the National Instititute for Literacy  
discussion list archives at

http://www.nifl.gov/pipermail/specialtopics/2007/date.html

and it will also be archived by Esther Leonelli on the Adult Literacy  
Education Wiki.  When that's ready Esther or I will post a message to  
let you know.

I want to let you know that there is a discussion list devoted to  
adult numeracy.  To subscribe,

-Send an e-mail to
-majordomo at world.std.com.
-In the body of the message type "subscribe numeracy your_address"

This past couple of months we have had four discussions on the  
Special Topics discussion list, the last two, back-to-back!  We'll  
take a little break now.  While there may be one or two remaining  
messages posted today or tomorrow, after that, the list will be  
quiet.  You may unsubscribe or wait to see what's next.

planned go to:
