    I am pleased to announce an exciting and content-rich opportunity for educators statewide. The third
    annual Literacy Through Leadership Conference is taking place July 12-14, 2005, at the Hilton Daytona

    Principals, reading coaches, lead teachers and district administrators are the primary invitees to this

    professional development in reading.
    Renowned speakers, authors and presenters, including Dr. Debbie Estes, Cris Tovanni, Bruce Coville,
