DLL teacher leaders and other educators throughout the state of Texas met with Rep. Nick Lampson and Rep. Rubén Hinojosa, chair of the House Higher Education Subcommittee at Fort Bend ISD in Houston on April 25, 2008. Chairman Hinojosa and Rep. Lampson were very generous with their time. In addition to the lesson, they received packets with information on Reading Recovery and DLL including the Executive Summary, the DLL fact sheet, “Spotlights One on One Teaching” brochure, and the What Works Clearinghouse report.

Special thanks to Laura Ramos, chair of the RRCNA DLL Committee, Mary Jackson, RRCNA treasurer and site coordinator at Fort Bend ISD and Yvonne Rodriguez, trainer, for organizing the event.
