Description
Solicitation ED-07-R-0076 has been issued and is now available on FedBizOPPs. Point of Contact: Steve Langley, Program Staff Assistant, telephone 202-233-2025; fax 202-233-2050; Email: procurement@nifl.gov. The National Institute for Literacy (Institute) was established to ensure that literacy would have a place on the federal policy agenda and to invigorate a national effort to improve adult literacy. Its primary activities to strengthen literacy across the lifespan are authorized by the U.S. Congress under two laws, the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) in the Workforce Investment Act and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The AEFLA directs the Institute to provide national leadership regarding literacy, coordinate literacy services and policy, and serve as a national resource for adult education and literacy programs. The NCLB law directs the Institute to disseminate information on scientifically based reading research pertaining to children, youth, and adults as well as information about development and implementation of classroom reading programs based on the research. A significant component of the Institute?s NCLB-authorized dissemination effort has focused on parents with well-developed literacy skills who are accustomed to consulting printed materials for information. While the Institute will continue to disseminate information based on the findings from scientific research to these parents, the Institute is beginning to turn its attention to a different group of parents. The Institute is seeking technical assistance in starting a pilot project that focuses on parents of K-3 children who would benefit from learning more about how to support their children's acquisition of reading skills but who are not likely to use stand-alone print materials. These are likely to be hard to reach parents with low literacy skills with low educational attainment. The purpose of this project will be to disseminate information that engages parent-participants in activities that develop their knowledge of how children learn to read and their ability to help their children become successful readers.
