"A Great Program...for Me as a Gramma": Caregivers Evaluate a Family Literacy Initiative
Anderson, Jim; Morrison, Fiona
Canadian Journal of Education, v30 n1 p68-89 2007
In this article, we report a study in which we asked 137 parents and caregivers to evaluate a year-long family literacy program in which they participated. Parents valued the insights they gained about children's learning in general and literacy development in particular. They reported that they learned from each other as well as from the program facilitators; valued especially the structure of the program wherein they spent time working with children in classrooms; felt more included in the school community; and enhanced their self-esteem and their ability to advocate for their families. (Contains 1 table and 5 notes.)
