Rosalind, we welcome you to go to www.famlit.org and learn more about family
literacy.  You can also go to
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-family/family_literacy.html to
search the archives of this family literacy discussion AND
http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/FamilyLit/ to review many family literacy
related resources.

Although family literacy programs now work with families of children of all
ages, "early childhood education" typically refers to pre-school (or
pre-kindergarten) education programs.  "Adult literacy education," depending
on the audience can refer to any educational program with the target
population of adults.  However, in most family literacy programs, "adult
education" refers to educational programs for adults with low literacy
skills all the way through GED, or high school diploma programs.
