One of the primary goals of the First 5 LA Family Literacy Initiative's programs is to help parents recognize the importance of providing their children with language- and literacy-rich experiences at home, so that their children will be ready for school and prepared for educational success. These Family Literacy programs, all located in Los Angeles County, specifically target at-risk families, serving predominantly low-income, Hispanic/Latino families with low parent education levels and children birth to age 5. In 2007-08, 784 families participated in all four components -- adult education classes, parenting education classes, parent-child interactive literacy activities (PCILA) and early childhood education classes -- of the Family Literacy programs funded through this Initiative. This research brief focuses on outcomes specifically related to the parenting education and PCILA time components. Although these components vary across programs, parenting education classes typically focus on strategies for parents to support their children's learning and PCILA time provides parents semi-structured one-on-one time with their children to practice these strategies.
