Research to Practice: Supporting Learners Through Literacy

June 25-26, 2009

You are invited to join the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) for our Summer Literacy Institute, Research to Practice: Supporting Learners Through Literacy. Learn about the very latest research and how that research is translated into practical applications for the classroom and the home. Learn about solid strategies that support parents as they engage in their children’s learning. Network with practitioners from around the country and share information in facilitated discussion groups.

Focusing on the family, sessions will cover research-based practices for improving literacy services for adult learners, pre-school through elementary parents and children, and English language learners. All sessions support the development of family literacy programs that have a positive impact on families as they work to develop stronger literacy skills.

Content is provided in one-day stand-alone sessions or two-day strands – all focused on developing strategies for establishing a “family” approach to literacy. The Institute is designed for literacy providers, adult educators, elementary staff, pre-K staff, librarians, literacy volunteers, administrators and others who work with families.

The Summer Literacy Institute will be held at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
