For those interested in brain research that seems to be having some interesting impact on the overall field of literacy, you might desire to look at the work of folks such as Bennett and Sally Shaywitz, Charles Perfetti, Kenneth Pugh, among others. While some of the work has been done with problem readers, other work has been done with college freshmen. Perfetti did a great presentation at last year's NRC conference on the topic. Even those who do not believe that we are in a position to move such basic findings to the applied realm would have told you that he presented much to think about. He might be a viable keynote for the CRLA conference. Norman A.
