I don't know that I agree with the attitude adjustment; but, I do agree that action needs to be taken. I would really like to see the results of the literacy testing. I'd like to know if there is a potential for the inability to understand written material or to write properly. Following that, I'd like to be able to "recommend" students to a literacy course. To sorta quote another program, "Please, read and write responsibly". I know this will delay graduation in some instances; however, the quality of education will improve greatly for the student if they can really understand what they are reading and be able to provide written responses that are easily understood by others. Heck, they have to be able to do the same thing on the job... All of these folks should be able to read and comprehend at a 12th grade level in my opinion. Or, truly be able to meet the comprehension standards set by the individual institution. I know that I am not qualified to teach people how to read, or how to improve their reading/comprehension skills. What is your recommendation? Have you been able to implement any changes that have allowed for success of our students? thanks, jay
