information be posted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, folks, we have had some great discussions on the NIFL-Family list in
the past with Dr. Meta Potts, Allan Lopatin and Tony Peyton, Helmer Duverge,
Dr. Jeri Levesque, Jennifer Cromley, and Jane Meyer to name a few.  And, we
have another fantastic one lined up for you November 12-21.  Dr. Doug Powell
with Parenting Education at Purdue University and Diane D'Angelo with RMC
Research Corporation will lead us in a discussion using the USDOE
publication they wrote as a foundation to the discussion:  Guide to
Improving Parenting Education in Even Start Family Literacy Programs.

We all know the national domestic focus is on children reading and their
education, and all of us in family literacy also know that the best way to
have children reading is having a literacy rich environment in the home with
parents supporting the literacy development.  In this book by Doug and
Diane, a framework is provided and suggestions for strengthening the quality
and impact of parenting education (or Parent Time) services.

You will want to get your copy of this book prior to the discussion (it is
free!).  Again, the name of the publication is:  Guide to Improving
Parenting Education in Even Start Family Literacy Programs.  Here are
