Sort of a supper PACT time? In a day program they would probably be eating lunch together. Then maybe you could have storytime for the kids and parent education minutes for parents with dessert? Free food, maybe eating there with the kids wouldn't take any longer than going home and cooking...

One is with ESOL students at an elementary school and the other is in a minority housing project. I am now starting to expand our program with partnerships with the local YMCA(Even Start dollars), with a neighborhood task force, and one with a local adult ESOl school. All sites are using the Kenan Model. Now I am interested in starting a family literacy program with after-school care (3:30-6:15) children. But my problem lies in getting the parents involved since they are at work during the time we would have access to the children. We could possibly keep the children an additional 1 1/2 hours until the parents arrive at school. However, how do you entice these parents to stay at school after a long day at work and during a time that is their normal dinner hour. I have considered serving lots of food, but are there alternatives? Has anyone had success using another family literacy model other than the Kenan model that worked? If so, I would love for you to share your ideas!!!!! Thank you, Stephania Feltz Family Literacy Facilitator Adult and Community Education Center Sarasota County School District Sarasota, FL
