Last week I attended a meeting where an experienced family literacy practitioner asked for assistance in designing and implementing PACT for her group.  She is having difficulty engaging the parents who are at a very low level reading.  She questions what would be appropriate activities for children who are very young and whose ages span a wide developmental range.  This is her scenario, does anyone have suggestions for her?
 
This is a newly formed project in an urban area. The family literacy parents are in an ABE class.  Their average reading level is between second and fourth grade levels. Not surprisingly, they are quiet and shy during both class and PACT.  The children range in age between 2 months to 4 years old with several being about 18 months old.
