For
Literacy Advocates
The National Literacy Advocacy List is genially moderated by Massachusetts' own David J. Rosen and is subscribed to by hundreds of literacy advocates, administrators, learners, practitioners and government officials. It is your single best source of literacy advocacy information and ideas.
If you have never before subscribed to an electronic list, allow yourself about a week to get used to managing a full mailbox each morning. It takes a few days to develop a routine of quickly scanning the messages, deleting those which are only agreements to what has been said, and choosing which ones to reply to yourself. Save only those messages of immediate use to you.
NLA messages are archived on NIFL LINCS at
