Summary: This module will examine ways of strengthening Literacy-related activities in selected households in Trinidad and Tobago . Family structure and roles and relationships in the family have a decided influence on the value and practice of literacy especially where young children are concerned. Suggestions are given on activities that family members can do together so as to encourage Literacy in the home setting. Although the focus is on poorer (low income) families, the measures can apply wherever they are found to be useful.
