Introduction to Family Literacy – Centre for Family Literacy

Part One – Family Literacy Fundamentals

Explore the fundamentals of Family Literacy and expand your understanding of the role literacy plays in the life of children, their parents/caregivers, and the community.

The workshop will explore:

• A brief history of literacy

• What is literacy?

• Core concepts of family literacy

• Best practices in family literacy

• Explore the different types of family literacy programs

Part Two – Connecting How We Learn

Examine the connection between the family and emergent literacy, early literacy and adult literacy.

This workshop looks at the process of early literacy development in children starting at birth and connects to best practices in working with adults. We will explore why both are important in family literacy programs and how these connections, and therefore the learning, can be strengthened.
