<p class="MsoNormal">I’m pleased to share NPC Research’s <i><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.overview.history.aspx">Reading for Healthy Families: Final Evaluation Report</a></i>!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to thank those of you who participated in Reading for Healthy Families for making this early literacy training project a success. The final evaluation reports the impact of your work with children and families since your commitment
to the project ended. Parents who received early literacy education from you are significantly more likely to engage their child in a number of early literacy activities (see table below), including using the library, than parents who did not receive early
literacy education. In addition, most of you reported that you’ve made changes in the early literacy activities you provide which will have a long-term impact on early literacy in your communities. Please share the
<i><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/reading.healthy.families/rfhfYear4FinalReport6-26-2012.pdf">Reading for Healthy Families: Final Evaluation Report</a></i> with your manager and other key stake holders to show them the impact of the early literacy
work you are doing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Those of you who didn’t participate in Reading for Healthy Families may also be interested to learn the impact of using
<i>Every Child Ready to Ready</i> which was the national, evidence-based early literacy curriculum adapted for Reading for Healthy Families. The adapted curriculum and all supplemental materials are available for free on
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.home.aspx">our website</a>. This curriculum is approved by the Oregon Registry and you can find a list of Standardized Every Child Ready to Read
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.overview.contact.aspx">
Trainers on our website</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is my favorite table from the report that compares families who received early literacy education session –vs- families who did not.<o:p></o:p></p>
