The best tips I have for starting a family literacy program are:

1)  Build it on existing community resources.  Family literacy is too
complicated and too expensive to do on your own!  None of us are experts in all
the areas that make up a F.L. program, ECE, ABE, workforce, social work, etc,
and the good news is we don't have to be.  We can provide our own area of
expertise and rely on others to do the same.

2)  Integrate the components.  It isn't enough to have families attending great
services for each component.  The services need to be integrated.  The whole
should be greater than the sum of the parts.
