Dear Group,

On the issue of how to improve reading skills, especially the role the =
role of pleasure reading,  I can't recommend Stephen Krashen's work too =
highly.  His book, The Power of Reading (now out in a 2nd Endition) =
summarizes the research supporting the achievement value of "fun =
reading."  It's great book.  I heard him speak at a conference and he =
was excellent there too.  He is at the University of Southern California =
and I bet would respond to requests for information about his work.

I hope this is helpful.

Joanne
