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. Jane Meyer Canton, Ohio Even Start
