You would need to carefully choose the books to appeal to both age groups but the opportunities for discussion on a wide range of topics would be tremendous. Such a program could offer lots of opportunity for literacy skill development and be a great tool to open lines of communication and support within families. ----- Original Message ----- From: Konovia <kmikeal@whdc.org> To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-family@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 11:56 AM Subject: [NIFL-FAMILY:3034] Programs for Adults & Teens > I am a new member to this list and the area of family literacy.
