contents Seven Research-Based Ways That Families Promote Early Literacy. Research-to-Practice Brief Caspe, Margaret Lopez, M. Elena Emergent Literacy Family Involvement Best Practices Literature Reviews Family Environment Parent Child Relationship Parent Aspiration Expectation Reading Interests Native Language Parent Teacher Cooperation Library Role Early Childhood Education Positive early-literacy experiences--whether at home, in early-childhood programs, schools, or libraries--set children on a trajectory to become confident readers by the time they reach third grade, which is an important milestone on the pathway toward high school graduation. This review outlines seven practices that research shows families use to effectively promote early literacy. Woven through each of the seven research-supported practices are examples of how early childhood programs, libraries, and other community-based organizations are empowering families and providing them access to knowledge, skills, experiences, and resources to support their children's literacy development. Although many of the practices are broadly recognized and agreed upon, often families, educators, and librarians do not have access to the latest research substantiating the practices and to new information about how organizations can support them. Some of the ways the research and examples described here can be used include: (1) Raising understanding and awareness of research supporting family engagement in early literacy; (2) Guiding the design of research-based family literacy experiences; (3) Supporting fundraising for family literacy opportunities; (4) Sparking continuing innovation to support families' and communities' efforts to develop new ways to promote early literacy; and (5) Helping in the development of indicators and benchmarks that can be used to assess and evaluate the success of programs designed to support family engagement and children's literacy learning. This review also provides an opportunity to reflect on ways schools are currently supporting and could support family and community engagement in early literacy.
