Extractions: Researchers and educators have long agreed that when parents get involved in education, children try harder and achieve more at school (e.g., Epstein, 1995). Parents who help and encourage their children to learn at home, and who help develop positive attitudes toward school, contribute to the personal growth and academic success of their children. Various approaches have been developed to help schools gain greater parent involvement. These approaches have several features in common: programs that focus on parenting skills and the development of home conditions that support learning; school-to-home and home-to-school communication about school programs and children's progress; the use of volunteers at school or in other locations to support the school and students; and participation by families in decision-making, governance, and advocacy (Bauch, 1994; Davies, 1991). These circumstances lead some educators to conclude that rural families place a low value on the education of their children. This conclusion gains support from the finding that rural parents have lower educational attainment than their urban and suburban counterparts. As the argument goes, parents who lack personal experience of education beyond basic skills often fail to see its importance for their children. Further, they may feel intimidated by school procedures and expectations (Capper, 1993).

Extractions: Family literacy originated in Kentucky in the mid-1980s at a time when the Commonwealth had no state-funded at-risk preschool programs or mandated kindergarten programs. Head Start was reaching minimal numbers of children, and many counties had only a home-instruction program for adults. Kentucky traditionally has ranked near the top in the nation in the percentage of adults who have less than a high school diploma. Moreover, its dropout rate is consistently among the highest in the United States. Rep. Noe requested that a plan for intergenerational legislation be developed, providing Darling with the catalyst to write the proposal and draft legislation. Noe added the stipulation that, in order to apply for a grant, 50 percent or more of a county's adult population had to lack a high school diploma. The legislation was designed to accommodate the needs of the rural, most impoverished counties of Kentucky. The Parent and Child Education (PACE) legislation was designed as an experimental program and had no real opposition but also did not emerge as a high priority on the KDE legislative agenda. However, with Rep. Noe as its champion and the backing of legislators from rural communities, the bill passed in 1985 and became the first government-sponsored family literacy program.
