How do you keep the parents and children in your family literacy programs?
What do you do for incentives?  Some programs have "family literacy dollars"
that are given to students for many different reasons.  These dollars are
really just xeroxed copies of real dollars.  They are awarded for perfect
attendance for a week, being on time, completing assignments, volunteer
hours in their children's school, etc.  At the end of a month (or whenever),
the students are allowed to spend the dollars in the program's store,
purchasing such items as detergent, soap, hand towels, etc....things that
can not be purchased with their food stamps.
