The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult
Education is pleased to announce the launch of the National STAR
Training Network Web site.  The Web site contains information on the
Student Achievement in Reading (STAR) initiative, created to assist
states and local programs in making systemic and instructional changes
required to improve the reading achievement of intermediate-level adult
learners (G.L.E. 4.0-8.9).  STAR provides teachers and administrators
with Web-based tools that translate reading research into practice and
high quality training and technical assistance to build capacity for
reading reform.   

The National STAR Training Network is offering two training and
technical assistance packages to states and local programs.  The new Web
site describes these services and provides an array of tools to help you
learn about and plan to implement evidence-based reading instruction.

We invite you to visit the Web site at http://www.startoolkit.org
<http://www.startoolkit.org/>  to learn more about how you can improve
adult learners' reading achievement.
