I, too, listened to the webcast yesterday dealing with reluctant readers. The host closed down the site too quickly and I was unable to get the certificate of attending, Where can we go to get that certificate?

Dear whom this my concern, I completed the webcast on the engaging readers. I was wondering where I get my proof that I took the class? Thank you.
