Hi everyone,
 
I'm wondering what tools and processes people are using in family
literacy programs?  
 
Do you use the NRS required ones and supplement with other types of
tools?  Are there assessment processes/tools specifically designed for
family literacy?  Actually, do family literacy programs get the same
funding stream as the ABE programs required to report to the NRS?
 
I've been looking around for resources in this area too.  I found this
one, which has some good stuff in it, but a lot of it is focused on the
overall evaluation of program, rather than on individual assessment.
Can anyone comment on the usefulness of this resource?  Are there other
resources out there that focus on assessment in fam lit?
