Best of the Best Elementary order form

Do We Have an Opportunity For You!
 School counselors have a very special opportunity to recommend books that we often use in our guidance classes for our partners in the Pennsylvania Family Literacy Programs.  According to Barbara Van Horn, researcher in the PA Family Literacy Evaluation project, there have been many positive outcomes for those parents being served with literacy needs and their young children (ages birth through third grade) in all 67 counties in the Commonwealth.  The findings show that participation in family literacy improves adults’ academic skill, enables children to enter school ready to learn, contributes to children’s success in elementary school and increases literacy-related-interactions between parents and their children.
