Now that the Family Literacy Listserv has closed I'm not sure how best to
disseminate this information. Please share this with any friends and
colleagues who may be interested.

 

The Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy at Penn State has
created a Practitioner's Guide to Interactive Literacy Activities (ILAs).
The guide provides an overview of ILAs and to suggest ways to implement them
more effectively. After summarizing the research basis for ILAs, the brief
describes what ILAs entail and the ways in which they are being used in
family literacy, provides examples of ILA activities with a solid research
base, and offers suggestions for designing culturally appropriate ILAs. The
latter topic is especially pertinent to this listserv. 

 

Best,

 

Esther
