First I want to say what great comments about the importance of family
literacy and resources for family literacy. Thank you all and keep them
coming.
Second I am including the link to a publication called "Family Literacy: Who
Benefits?" It contains information about how children, families, and
communities all benefit from family literacy with citations for the
information. You can print it and make copies if you like.

I know about learning to read at home, or being read aloud to, but I am
baffled by family literacy programs.  Are they funded separately from
regular  literacy programs?  Are there measures of effectiveness?  I know
about Evenstart, but I have also read  the latest evaluation, which as I
recall when compared with Head Start...shows that Head Start has more impact
with children.

I know I am being vague....any answers as to effectiveness?

Andrea,
