While I am totally aware that comprehension is the focus of the listerve- I DO appreciate hearing about what other literacy programs people are using and finding successful. I appreciate the depth of professional knowledge of this group and have absolutely NO problem if someone enquires about a program. After all- if I have no interest in the program/ request- my delete button works quite well!
