Inspired by the Library of Congress Literacy Awards Program and its
applicants, which have showcased and disseminated innovative
literacy initiatives across the country and around the world since
2013, this book provides evidence-based practice guidelines for
librarians and educators. To optimize results, the projects in this
book blend early literacy benefits, fundamental reading skills, and
other foundational concepts with culture- or community-specific
sensitivity and leveraging. They're adaptable based on age,
audience, size, resources, and budget; and most importantly, they
address social inequities and foster cross-culture interactions.
Inside, readers will find detailed profiles of dozens of successful
literacy projects, which include such activities as oral
storytelling, the Parent-Child Home Program, a repository of
multilingual children's stories, accessible web readers, personal
tutors, and many more; an overview of universal steps to literacy,
explaining how people learn, generic reading skill development,
human developmental issues, and habits of literacy; research-based
factors for impactful literacy projects; discussion of the
importance and role of literacy partners such as families, schools
and universities, libraries, government agencies, nonprofit
organizations, and for-profit entities; advice on project planning,
including needs assessment, goals and objectives, literacy review,
target audience, project personnel, resources, setting and timing,
communication, support, implementation, communication, and
continuous assessment and improvement; and guidance on building
capacity, empowering the community, and sustaining a culture of
literacy. Complete with links to additional resources and support
materials, this resource details the steps needed to create
effective and sustainable projects in your own community.
