Extension Service And Healthy Families Healthy Families oklahoma is a parent education/support program Services includehome visits, linkage to community resources such as a health care provider http://www.joe.org/joe/1998december/iw1.html
Extractions: Stevens Point, Wisconsin Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service has been involved in parent education through home visitation since the mid-1980s. Initially this program used volunteers. In 1991, an Extension Service/U. S. Department of Agriculture Youth-at- Risk grant enabled one county to employ trained home visitors. Oklahoma Child Abuse Prevention funding, instituted in 1991 through the Oklahoma Department of Health, enabled Oklahoma State University to employ home visitors in additional counties. In 1992, Healthy Families Oklahoma evolved through a statewide collaboration initiated by the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and the Oklahoma Committee to Prevent Child Abuse. At the national level, the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and the Cooperative Extension Service submitted a proposal to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to develop pilot programs around the country using the Healthy Families America model. Pottawatomie County was selected in 1994 as one of the three national pilot sites funded. Additional grants, available in 1996 from federal Family Preservation and Support and Office of Child Abuse, expanded the Healthy Families program. Currently, Oklahoma State University operates Healthy Families programs in ten counties. There are a total of nineteen Healthy Families programs statewide.

Extractions: 1984. Digest #19. The idea that parents play a vital role in their children's literacy development is not new. Edmond Huey, in 1908 wrote as follows: The child makes endless questionings about the names of things, as every mother knows. He is concerned also about the printed notices, signs, titles, visiting cards, etc., that come in his way, and should be told what they are when he makes inquiry. It is surprising how large a stock of printed or written words a child will gradually come to recognize in this way. In 1934, Nila B. Smith acknowledged that early reading is taught at home rather than at school. Current literacy research, reported by Teale (1981), Doake (1981), Haussler (1982), and Taylor (1983), indicates not only that the amount of adult-child reading and writing interaction before school is important, but also that the quality of the interactions makes a difference. Parents' attitudes toward literacy, the time they spend interacting with children and print, and the accessibility of literacy materials in the home (such as newspapers, books, chalkboards, paper and writing implements) influence children's reading and writing development.
