The NWT Literacy Council is in its fourth year of working
in family literacy to address the literacy needs of northern communities. We
initially started by developing family literacy programs and resources. As a
result, we developed the programs 1-2-3 Rhyme With Me, Books in the Home
and Families First. These programs have become the backbone to our
training.
Over the past two years we have trained 150 family
literacy facilitators from almost every community in the NWT. There were over
30 family literacy programs delivered across the north this year. Family
literacy is making a difference in the NWT.
We are looking to expand our family literacy training and
resources in the next year. We would like input from people working in family
literacy.
We will be sending questionnaires to community-based
family literacy programs asking these questions:
- What kinds of training do you need to enhance your
skills?
- What kinds of resources do you need to continue to run
successful programs?
- What support do you need to help you with your
programs?
