Dear All:

As requested, here is the list of low literacy parenting books I compiled,
along with price and source information.  I used the EFF Parent/Family Role
Map (www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_family.html,) to guide
selection --thank you, Meta!

There are many other wonderful resources on these sites -- videos,
curricula, pamphlets, etc. -- but I was looking specifically for books for a
lending library for a homeless shelter.  Scroll waaaay down to see the list.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed suggestions!
Kathie
