The Content Literacy Information Consortium (acronym, CLIC) is an organized set of web links of special interest to teachers and researchers interested in issues defined by "learning to read to learn." The web sites cataloged in CLIC will provide every teacher with ideas and strategies for adopting the instructional moves that empower their students to become independent, actualized learners. We are always looking for new links and resources that we can incorporate, and we invite all users to give us feedback and suggestions.

Please address us at the@virginia.edu or kaw2u@virginia.edu.
