To strengthen family literacy provision as a value-added initiative that enhances home- school links, parental lifelong learning and children’s basic skills development To assist in a teaching-learning paradigm shift by demonstrating ‘alternative’ methodologies and strategies that actively involve the participation of parents To boost family literacy as a key element in early childhood education so as to become an integral part of day-school provision To lay elements of the groundwork for school as community learning centres. Ethos and Justification

Day-school programmes - 1 Research-based justification: Children do better in school when parents regularly support, monitor and advocate for their education. (Padak and Rasinski, Kent State University and Hannon, University of Sheffield) The REAL project (University of Sheffield) – family literacy with families of preschool children (particularly those likely to have difficulties in the early years of school). High quality results and parental satisfaction.
