Kimberly,

This isn't quite what you asked for but the program arising from this report is well regarded by my colleagues. There are references and of course, the authors are probably worth following up too.

Dear Kimberly,

I know some PhD Brazilian authors who are references in literacy area. Has important articles and books published in this area. Below is the links of some of your articles on literacy at school. Maybe it will help you.

Kimberly,

Have you looked into Dr. Linda Dorn's work from the University of Arkansas- Little Rock? I have had experience implementing her model and it is extremely effective. Best of luck.

These are great leads - thank you, please keep 'em coming!

 Dear Kimberly A. Lawless 

Just in case, you wouldn't be familiar with Universal Design for Learning and their approach to dealing with literacy,  here is David Rose's (in my view rather) contagious lecture.

All the best 

Henrik
