Family literacy programmes can take many shapes, and are often focused on training adult caregivers to engage in particular literacy activities with their young children. In this study, through a series of five, two-hour workshops, we instead worked to help families take advantage of opportunities to infuse literacy learning into their daily routines with their preschool-aged children. Effects of the workshop include parent reports of increased literacy interactions in the home, particularly in the areas of read-alouds and writing opportunities. In addition, students whose families participated in the workshops showed statistically significantly greater literacy growth in print and word awareness and comprehension than peers whose families did not participate in the workshops.

家庭扫盲计划可以有多种形式，并且通常侧重于培训成年看护人与他们的幼儿一起进行特殊的扫盲活动。在这项研究中，我们通过一系列五个，两个小时的讲习班，来帮助家庭利用机会，将识字学习融入他们的学龄前儿童的日常生活中。讲习班的影响包括家长报告说，家庭中读写能力的互动增加，尤其是在朗读和写作机会方面。此外，与家人不参加讲习班的同龄人相比，其家人参加讲习班的学生在印刷和单词意识及理解方面的识字率统计上显着提高。
