  2. Ethos and Justification • 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.

  3. 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.
