Download or read book Family Literacy Matters written by Linda Phillips and published by Calgary : Detselig Enterprises. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By following families over three years the authors have convincingly shown the power of a family literacy program to change lives. At the broadest level their conclusions will come as little surprise to anyone in the literacy field--the children with the greatest need benefited the most, and parents with at least high school education could help their children the most. The real richness of this volume, however lies in the depth of detail. The parents involved in the program told the researchers they were generally paying more attention to printed material, reading more often and wanted to learn how to improve their literacy. They became more sophisticated in gauging their children's literacy skills and more sure of their own abilities to help those children.
