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
