Part III: Parent Education
in Family Literacy Programs
Part III presents information about parent education as one of the four components of
family literacy. Parent education is designed to help parents improve their skills at
being the primary teacher for their children and become full partners in the education
of their children.
This section begins with a brief description of family literacy, explains the goals and
structure of parent education, offers strategies for implementing parent education, and
provides activities that parents can engage in with their children at home and in their
communities.
