National Center for Family Literacy Conference

Hi Everyone,

A few days after Mardi Gras, one of your Literacy AmeriCorps members (Caroline) and I traveled to Orlando, FL to attend the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) Conference. We gathered wonderful free literacy material published by NCFL and NIFL at the exhibit booth, attended several workshops and heard some wonderful authors and speakers that included Henry Winkler (A Tale of Two Tails), Greg Mortenson (NY Times bestseller, Three Cups of Tea), Peter Reynolds (The North Star), Greg Forbes Siegman (The First Thirty) and Jan Goldstein (All That Matters). During the next few weeks, please check the blog postings for information received during this conference. If you would like to learn more about the conference, go to NCFL's website: www.famlit.org and see some of the highlights.

Happy reading,
Hazel
