Research Foundation for the Objectives and Resources

Introduction

The materials on this site were designed as resources for family literacy programs. Accordingly, we have included literacy materials that are relevant for the four interdependent components of comprehensive family literacy:

  • Parenting Education
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Parent and Child Interactive Literacy Activities
  • Adult Education

The content and strategies used in the Guides, Programs and Integrated Lesson Plans reflect current research findings concerning supporting children’s and adults’ literacy learning. The research basis for this approach is presented in this section, as are the specific instructional objectives derived from this research.
