The family unit is the key to the success of any family literacy program. It is through the family that the seeds of literacy grow. The impact of the parent-child interactions establishes and nurtures the importance of literacy. The role of the parent as a model cannot be under- estimated. It is through modeling that the child establishes lifetime patterns. Initially the child imitates the modeled behaviors and eventually adopts these behaviors. When parents read to their children it assigns a positive value to literacy. Not only are the parents showing the child that reading is a good thing, but the parent also experiences the positive reinforcement of developing his or her own skills. The promotion and encouragement of family literacy is one of the mandates of the SIAST Kelsey Campus Literacy Program. In our endeavors to achieve this the students of the 2001/2002 literacy class have created this children's storybook. This book will be used by the students within their own home environments, and with their own family and extended family units in the spirit of family literacy.
