46. Family Literacy Best Practices Guide for Programs in Nova Scotia (2003)
Authors: Family Literacy Research for Nova Scotia, Michelle Bowden, Projet de recherche en alphabétisation familiale pour la Nouvelle-Écosse
These guidelines have been developed as a foundation on which to build Family Literacy programs in Nova Scotia. Because Family Literacy programs are developed based on the need in each community, there is no uniform program that is delivered across the province. What the programs do have in common is the same inclusive philosophy, values and commitment to their participants. Family Literacy practitioners can use this guide as a reference point for the development of their respective programs.

Authors: Laubach Literacy Ontario (LLO), Barrie Literacy Council
On February 28, 2011, Laubach Literacy Ontario held its second annual Literacy Awareness Day at Queen’s Park, home of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, in Toronto.
This video, recorded that day, features an adult learner describing how he decided at the age of 40 to improve his literacy skills. Although he was successful in his job with the family business and owned a house, there was something missing from his life.
He went to the Barrie Literacy Council in Ontario, where he worked with several tutors. Four years later, he received his General Education Development (GED) certificate.
