The book shows perspectives of public librarians, school principals, children's book store owners, and school personnel who have successfully implemented a family literacy program. Planning sheets and lesson templates are included, making it easy to develop a family literacy program.

Throughout the book, Lynch and Prins share evidence-based literacy practices and highlight examples of successful family literacy programs. Acknowledging lingering concerns, challenges, and critiques of family literacy, the book also offers recommendations for research, policy, and practice. Accessible and thorough, this book comprehensively addresses family literacies and is relevant for researchers, scholars, graduate students, and instructors and practitioners in language and literacy programs.

Book excerpt: This report showcases four programs nationally recognized as leaders in family literacy--each of these programs has participated in a validation process sponsored by the National Diffusion Network (NDN), an agency of the United States Department of Education that disseminates information and training about exemplary educational programs and practices. All four of the programs receive federal Even Start funding; the recognized programs are: Literacy Volunteers of America--Chippewa Valley, Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Even Start Project, Manhattan/Ogden, Junction City/Fort Riley, Kansas; Webster Groves Even Start, Rock Hill, Missouri; and Family Intergenerational Literacy Model (FILM), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The report also notes that these successful programs illustrate the variety of ways public funding, augmented by community collaboration, can provide the essential components of family literacy and meet the specific needs of an undereducated population. The report is divided into the following sections: Introduction to Family Literacy; Two Routes to Program Validation; Program Profiles; The Essential Components of Family Literacy; Community Involvement: Meeting the Needs; Special Features of the Programs; and Resources for Family Literacy.

Download or read book Changes in Family Literacy Funding and Welfare Policy written by Esther Prins and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to federal budget cuts in 2005-06, 11 family literacy programs in Pennsylvania switched from federal Even Start to state (Act 143) funding. Simultaneously, state welfare requirements stipulated that in most circumstances adult education is not an allowable work activity for welfare recipients over age 20. This study examined how these policy changes affected 10 Pennsylvania family literacy programs. The study reveals that the combination of these policy changes, coupled with the need to meet state standards, created distinctive challenges for programs, especially in student recruitment. Secondly, the effects of the policies were mediated by factors such as program size, structure, and geographic location, local infrastructure (e.g., transportation), and program participants' characteristics. Thirdly, the Act 143 and welfare policies had numerous, unintended ripple effects, affecting multiple programmatic areas and transcending the boundaries of government agencies. Fourthly, the findings show that the effects of policy changes are diverse and contradictory, simultaneously opening some opportunities while foreclosing others. Finally, the study illustrates the creative, resourceful ways that family literacy professionals respond to shifting policies.
