The family literacy list has had great discussions in the past. This promises to be another. -Mary Ann Corley * * * * * * * * * * * * Okay, folks, we have had some great discussions on the NIFL-Family list in the past with Dr. Meta Potts, Allan Lopatin and Tony Peyton, Helmer Duverge, Dr. Jeri Levesque, Jennifer Cromley, and Jane Meyer to name a few. And, we have another fantastic one lined up for you November 12-21. Dr. Doug Powell with Parenting Education at Purdue University and Diane D'Angelo with RMC Research Corporation will lead us in a discussion using the USDOE publication they wrote as a foundation to the discussion: Guide to Improving Parenting Education in Even Start Family Literacy Programs. We all know the national domestic focus is on children reading and their education, and all of us in family literacy also know that the best way to have children reading is having a literacy rich environment in the home with parents supporting the literacy development. In this book by Doug and Diane, a framework is provided and suggestions for strengthening the quality and impact of parenting education (or Parent Time) services. You will want to get your copy of this book prior to the discussion (it is free!). Again, the name of the publication is: Guide to Improving Parenting Education in Even Start Family Literacy Programs. Here are several ways you may do that: Write: Ed Pubs Education Publications Center U. S. Department of Education P. O.
