Support for Parents and Children in Education was a family literacy research project in rural Frontenac County in Northern Ontario. The purpose of this study was to determine and examine the supports needed by parents to be able to gain the skills and confidence necessary to deal with the various aspects of their children's education and to improve their literacy and numeracy. The study was based on the premise that there was a parental need for literacy supports and information in the communities. While the project expected to confer this belief, it also aimed to encourage family literacy with events and workshops, develop partnerships, and increase awareness of learning centres and services. The study involved four key components: partnerships, advertising, family literacy-based activities and data collection.
