All building on the four aspects of family literacy services. Each set of staff and families will develop it to me the interests and goals of the families within the community. I am so glad that our field is finally able to come together on the foundation of the parent education/groups; adult education/ESOL; children's education birth ->) and the heart of a family literacy PACT ( home, center, etc). It is the intensity, integration and comprehensiveness that we as program developers must address now.

Family Literacy does not have one definition. The program I am fortunate to coordinate use a multifaceted approach. It certainly includes all four components and more--thanks to the talented staff and dedicated students I work with. The "extra" we have added is a program called "Bobby's Books". This program component uses children's literature to help families cope with change, loss, and grief. It was just featured on "Heroes"--a show on FoxNews Network hosted by John Kasich. We have found that the families we serve are coping with many of life's challenges as they learn and grow...using children's literature that they have chosen is a strong tool. This project also has great personal satisfaction for me because it is named after my oldest son who died in 1985. I didn't name it--the staff and students I was working with at the time came up with the name and did the initial work. This is perhaps a long way to say Family Literacy is a powerful tool that meets familles where they are to break the cycle of illiteracy and to give families a base upon which to grow. Thanks for listening. ------=_NextPart_000_0091_01C0C723.FC82FEC0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2722.2800" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN=20 class=3D690334513-17042001>Friends,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#0000ff face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN = class=3D690334513-17042001>This=20 conversation just confirms the fact that family literacy programming = comes in=20 many forms and has many facets.
