Community Collaborations for Family Literacy Handbook

Community collaboration is a key to promoting literacy in families at risk. Designed to help librarians accomplish this, the handbook is divided into three sections. The first provides an overview of the history of family literacy -- and successful program models. The second shows how to involve all appropriate community providers and develop a shared plan. The third details a step-by-step process for writing a successful family literacy proposal. An in-depth study of the Massachusetts Community Collaborations for Family Literacy Model, which was the inspiration and basis for this handbook, is provided as an appendix.Quezada, Shelley is the author of 'Community Collaborations for Family Literacy Handbook' with ISBN 9781555701642 and ISBN 1555701647.
