Ask Judi!This week's question comes from Gayle: "Two of my colleagues and I are in
a Masters of Technology program. Our next class is on Grant Writing, and
we each need to apply for a grant. My colleagues and I teach English,
Library, Computer, Business, Accounting, and Math. Do you have any idea
where I could find a grant?"
Certainly Gayle! For starters, you could try your state Dept. of Ed. You could try state & local organizations/businesses as well! We have many resources listed under our category of "Grants & Funding." But here are a few resources to get you started:

My Reading Coach My Reading Coach was developed to teach anyone, age 7 through adult, to read at their verbal comprehension level! Believe it or not, the publisher guarantees it! This program utilizes a revolutionary new technology that replicates many of the benefits of having an actual reading teacher in the room. Most learners complete the program in 40 to 60 hours. For optimal success, it is recommended that the program be completed within two months. The program begins with an assessment of the student's encoding and decoding skills followed by lessons assigned based on the results of the assessment. My Reading Coach includes: 47 interactive multimedia lessons; 5-7 interactive activities per lesson to ensure mastery; comprehensive exercises; and support sheets. This Hybrid CD-ROM will run under Win. 95 or higher with a Pentium processor, 32mb, 16 bit color and sound, or on your Macintosh with System 8.5 or better, 96mb, and SoftWindows 98 version 5.0.4. A floppy disk drive is also required. A School Edition, it is valued at $98.95 ENTER FOR FREE & REVIEW CONTEST RULES HERE: *Note: You only have to enter ONCE per school year to be eligible for ALL our monthly contests.
