Reading Writing Hotline reprieve!

Reading and Writing HotlineWe are pleased to advise that the Hotline has been funded for 2010. The lobbying efforts of ACAL, VALBEC and the affiliated state organisations, and lots of providers and individuals have had an impact on changing the decision to fund the Hotline. Let's hope that this funding will continue beyond 2010.
