[LM_NET] Hit: Literacy Grant Info

[Sharon Boyle <oylib@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Here are the responses that I got concerning the Literacy Empowerment Grant

Sharon

I haven't heard anything good about them.  I went on the website and the
books are not of great quality.  My headmaster keeps forwarding their emails
to me.


There have been several discussions about this- check the archives.
Basically I
have seen some of their books and they are not of the quality I would put in
my
library.  They are like a lot of self-published children's books, there's a
reason they were not published through regular channels.  The foundation and
author of the books you can buy w/ the grant money are the same thing.



I am in a middle school and since none of the books are listed, I wrote
andasked them where on the website I could look at the titles. Seems it's
noton the website at all and most are 1st grade and under.My superintendent
sent this to me this morning. I deleted it mainly because it didn't look
like it applied to my level, but also because it looks to me like they
select the books.
