Our best retention strategy is: do 3 home visits before the new family comes on site. That doesn't mean we always have 100% retention but it does keep the shoppers away. It also saves staff a great deal of paper work.

This information and feedback will be shared in the fall issue of "Connecting," the FLA magazine. A NIFL list subscriber who is also an FLA member asked if I would share those same questions with the NIFL family list members. See my e-mail below for a list of some questions that might help you define - what does your program do that could be considered best practice? Please feel free to respond to the NIFL list - for sharing among many family literacy supporters. Thanks, Debbie Nichols Director, Outreach Services National Center for Family Literacy 325 W.

These ideas (and program recognition) will be included in the fall issue of "Connecting," the FLA magazine. I've received wonderful suggestions from some of you but I know...there are many more of you who have great ideas to share with fellow FLA members. Maybe these questions will help to get your creative thinking going: What has been your best program recruitment/retention strategy? Do you have a particularly strong successful family literacy partnership? How did this partnership come about? And, how have you been able to sustain the collaboration? Funding. Do you have a funding strategy or success to share? What does your program do best? What are some recent successes? Do you have a favorite family literacy resource you'd like to recommend? Okay, I'm expecting a flood of e-mails! Share your ideas so that we can learn from each other. True networking. Send a short paragraph describing your best practice ideas to dnichols@famlit.org.
