E/Merging Literacies of home, family, and community: valuing
the literacies of Community workers and Mothers. This research
focused upon the way literacy practices have emerged in the contexts
of federal and provincial health initiatives. In particular it examined
the literacy practices of Early Intervention and Family Resource
Centre staff in their work with mothers and children and the ways
these practices can inform/shape ongoing initiatives including "ready
for school" initiatives.

aftert Mary's birth, local writer Ted Jones published an article

Parenting
for a Literate Community
Parenting for a Literate Community was funded, in part, by Health
Canada. For this project we ran a parent and child literacy program
and did training sessions with Early Intervention and Family Resource
Centre personnel. We developed a collection of literacy training
materials appropriate for those working with children and parents
in centre based literacy initiatives. There is a wealth of data
here that we interpreted. We examined the multiple literacies of
young children and the continuities and discontinuities between
home and schooled literacies. (contact: eccentre@unb.ca)
