Family Literacy
From LiteracyTentWiki
Family Literacy is a term that has been used in multiple ways, for multiple purposes by multiple users.
The bias of this topic leader, Janet Isserlis, is towards a far broader vision of what literacy is/literacies are, and the ways in which literacy is used as tool, a weapon, a barrier or a means of access.
This page will grow with your input.
To get started, some resources for review Literacy Resources/RI - intergenerational literacy resources.
