This targeted training package includes all the materials you need to run a workshop series for family literacy.

The package includes:

• Power Points
• Learner Plan Template
• Learner Assessment
• Learner Workbook
• Handouts and Activities

The training has been developed to be delivered over 10-14 sessions. Each session will take 2-3 hours.  Each session has a PowerPoint presentation. There is one learner workbook, which is used for all 10-14 sessions. The workbook can be printed, or distributed online as a fillable PDF. There is an answer key that applies to some sessions. In addition, there is a sample learner plan template with suggested milestones that can be used by Employment Ontario funded programs.

The training has been designed to include children. It is recommended that multiple staff members facilitate this learning series as a team as you will need additional supports to engage with the children. Some of the content is directed specifically at parents. Therefore, the children will need to be supported while participating in their own activity. You have the option of facilitating some sessions for parents only and only inviting the children to select sessions that can involve them completely. All materials can be adapted. Therefore, you can facilitate this learning series using any format that works best for your program.
