Welcome to our section on Family Literacy. We will present articles and links that will focus on ways to help your children at home.

"Family Literacy describes the many ways that families develop and use literacy in day to day tasks and activities. It can involve reading, writing, speaking and listening that parents do on their own with other adults, children's independent explorations in language learning, and parents and children using literacy together. Usually it includes all these things." (Thomas 1999)
