This is the fourth evaluation report on the pilot Manukau Family Literacy Programme (MFLP).

This report has two parts:
- A summative evaluation of the 2004 programme (Sections 1 - 5) which looks at programme outcomes of the MFLP, using a range of data sources for evidence of changes in both the adult participants and their children across a number of aspects – academic, family, personal and social.

- A discussion of broader issues of MFLP (Sections 6 - 10) such as the nature and significance of the role COMET has played in establishing a family literacy programme, some of the challenges and issues that MFLP has had to deal with and the way the model of family literacy has developed since the pilot began.

For readers who have not read the earlier reports, there is an outline the nature of the program and an overview of the MFLP's operations included in the first pages of the document.
