What might be some ways to build a public bridge between child and adult literacy? Perhaps the Tennessee Association of Adult and Community Educators' slogan, "Teach the Parent, Reach the Child," is a good place to start. What is the research that backs up this belief? What have been our experiences? We need invincible statistics combined with personal stories to build that bridge so both policymakers and average citizens will extend their support for children to their parents. How can the NIFL be of help?
