The integration of services distinguishes family literacy programs from other literacy intervention efforts. Family literacy programs integrate services almost seamlessly. Parent-child interaction methods discussed during parenting classes are practiced during Parent and Child Together (PACT) Time. Books used in preschool classes are also used in adult literacy classes and reinforced during home visits. Some of the reading material used in adult literacy classes includes information about parenting.

Through an independent research study, two family literacy programs in Florida were reviewed in an effort to document effective practices in Curricular Integration. The two programs; Jump Start, in Immokalee and GROWS, in Apopka were visited during the fall of 2005. From the results of that study, the Governor's Family Literacy Initiative, now known as the Florida Family Literacy Initiative, developed an extensive, multimedia training program to share with other Family Literacy programs and showcase Best Practices in Curricular Integration. Although the population highlighted in the videos are Limited English Proficient learners, the strategies and activities are universally applicable.

This interactive training module is designed for Family Literacy providers to learn and practice those best practices, anytime, anywhere. Learners can proceed through the training at any pace.
