[Air-l] National Reading Conference Request for Proposals

[Don Leu]

I hope we are able to attract some exceptional proposals from AIR.  I 
am looking for a really strong strand on issues that we share in common 
about literacy and technology.  The call is below.

Cheers,

Don Leu


Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit a research proposal to the 54th annual meeting 
of the National Reading Conference, the largest annual conference 
devoted solely to literacy research.  The National Reading Conference 
is internationally known for the warm welcome it extends to new members 
of our research community and for high standards in intellectual 
inquiry and research.

Antonio, Texas from December 1-4, 2004. It will feature plenaries by 
leading scholars who will address the critical issues in our field 
today.  You may download a copy of the Call for Proposals with complete
