Reio, Thomas G., Jr.; Wormley, Karen; Boyle, Mike A.
Online Submission
This study evaluated an innovative family literacy program in Bullitt County, KY, USA. Data sources included attendance sign-in sheets, pre- and post TABE test scores, GED success, gender, age, and ethnicity, and grant applications. The evidence suggested that since 1998, the program increasingly attracted proportionally more males, GED completion increased 10 times, computer placement in homes quadrupled, and roughly two-thirds met their goals. Additional features included extensive community involvement from businesses and local government.
