The "Clipboard Connection" is a methodology to facilitate the rapid circulation of relevant pre-existing materials from Chapter 1 Technical Assistance Centers (TACs) to their clients, teachers of educationally disadvantaged children in resource centers. Each "Clipboard Connection" consists of a lead sheet summarizing the contents of the materials (reprints of journal articles, brochures, etc.) to be distributed, and the materials themselves. This compilation focuses on the connection between reading and writing and its importance in the Chapter 1 curriculum. The following reprints and publication list are included: (1) "Portrait of James Gray," the founder of the National Writing Project, by Mark F. Goldberg (Educational Leadership, volume 47, number 3, November 1989); (2) a list of publications, including technical reports, occasional papers, and a quarterly journal, available from the Center for the Study of Writing; and (3) "Freewriting, Personal Writing, and the At-Risk Reader," by Norma Decker Collins (Journal of Reading, May 1990).
