Family Literacy: 

 Elsie Auerback, Vivian Gadsen Ground breakers and respected researchers who analyzed the socio-economic contexts of family literacy as a concept and then linked it to program models 

Victoria Purcell-Gates - to brought research about how the communities value  families and literacy as well as how literacy is acquired by children in their homes

Patricia Edwards - parents as partners in reading -- works to understand how parents and reading is connected with early literacy learning in schools

Leslie Morrow - who made  intergenerational literacy in families  the focus 

I'm sure there are more giants for the rest of us to stand on their shoulders and view the field of family literacy.

Could we add the names of those who have
been prominent in in adult literacy and family literacy? Who do you think of in

I consider Dr. Susan B. Neuman a big
name in early literacy.  She is currently a professor at University of Michigan. 
We brought her to Miami
for PD with early childhood, pre-k and kindergarten teachers, and for a
presentation for parents at one of our family learning events.  She is
fabulous.

I am curious who you would consider to be
big names in literacy, both historically and currently?
