Stories from the Parents Write their Worlds (Padres como escritores) Project: The Joys of Reading, Writing, and Childhood Pranks - what good things happen when parents are welcomed into schools to produce their own work and when their children read what their parents have written?

Good ideas, ideas that seem to work: theory and practice, best practices, and exemplary practices are all terms that may or may not describe good work that teachers and students are undertaking in progams around the world.

These resources represent good work:

Supporting Literacy Within Families,

and the Providence Public Library's Rhode Island Family Literacy Initiative;

both resources compiled by the New England Literacy Resource Center

Family Literacy in Canada: Profiles of Effective Practices edited by Adele Thomas

Please add to the list, and please add your own suggestions - how do we describe work that works?
