Questions readers ask
Why are there no phone numbers or e-mail addresses?
The original tables listed a direct line and an e-mail link for each person. They pointed at people, not at a public office, and most of them stopped working years ago, so this archive keeps names and job titles only.
What were PEELLS, SEELLS and ExCELL?
PEELLS and SEELLS were the second and third Early Reading First projects in Richmond preschools, after Richmond Early Reading First. ExCELL (Excellence in Children's Early Language and Literacy) was the follow-on early literacy program listed on the 2013 site, with coaches, family specialists and an evaluation team.
