The National Forum on Family Literacy was convened to encourage and facilitate collaboration among programs at the state level to improve the quality of family literacy services. This forum provided an opportunity for state-level representatives of Head Start, Even Start, Even Start Statewide Family Literacy Initiatives, and Adult Education to share common priorities, identify promising strategies and practices, and develop approaches to sharing resources and services. These proceedings capture the "sense" of presentations from the 2001 meeting. Presentation topics range from creating successful collaborations to implementing the latest findings from research. Included are states' experiences in establishing collaborations and building a family literacy infrastructure. Researchers presentations of implications of their findings on collaboration and on adult education, early childhood education, parent education, and English Speakers of Other Languages are also summarized. The appendix includes shared information from participants on vision statements and reflections, biographies of presenters, the federal statutory definition of family literacy services, a list of general resources, and a list of attendees, with contact information.
