By: Saskatchewan Literacy Network
This is a report on the some of the key items discussed during three Literacy Cafés held by the Saskatchewan Literacy Network in early 2008 in in Regina, Swift Current and Yorkton, Saskatchewan. The purpose of these Cafés was to provide a networking opportunity for literacy stakeholders and to ask for information that would guide the Literacy Network including its conversations and communications with decision makers. Through these discussions, the Literacy Network hoped to learn about the current literacy activities in each region, what was working well, the challenges that literacy stakeholders were facing and observing, and the opportunities for action and change.

3. The 3Rs of Research Practitioner Toolkit (2008)
By: Cindy Davidson, Literacy Network of Durham Region
This toolkit is designed for practitioners who may feel intimidated at the prospect of integrating research into a program.
The authors begin by defining “research in practice” simply as using the evidence of research and applying it in some way to one’s own experience and “research integration” as using the knowledge of the research.
In the second chapter, the authors set out six stages of research integration: awareness; information gathering; impact reflection; preparing for change; program implementation; and collaboration and exploration.
They also provide strategies for research integration and include a set of tools and templates to help at all stages of integration.
