An Evaluation of Family Literacy Bags as a Vehicle for Parent Involvement.
Dever, Martha T.; Burts, Diane C.
Early Child Development and Care, v172 n4 p359-70 Aug 2002
The Family Literacy Bags (FLB) project is a parent involvement and education innovation designed to engage children and their families in reading books in Spanish or English at home. Findings from inquiry at four primarily rural, middle-class school districts suggest that the FLB project encouraged home book reading. Parents learned effective ways to read and discuss books with children and obtained information about books and children's language development. (Author/KB)
