I would suggest going to the National Adult Literacy Council Database. It is
a wonderful resource. Charles Ramsey is the Executive Director and would
likely be able to provide further direction as needed.

Subject: [CLICK4HP] Parenting education resources


> Hello:
>
> As part of a contract with the Nova Scotia (Canada) Department of Health,
> I
> am working to identify plain language parent education resources to
> support
> the Healthy Beginnings Enhanced Home Visiting Program (and other
> programs).
>
> Healthy Beginnings is a new provincial initiative aimed at families with
> children from birth to three years of age who need extra support for any
> of
> a variety of reasons.  Some of the challenges that make these families
> candidates for Healthy Beginnings have implications for the resources that
> will be useful to them: low literacy, physical and mental challenges, and
> English as a second language.
>
> Our work includes reviewing parent education materials in use elsewhere in
> Canada as well as internationally.  We are also conducting a literature
> review on best practises for health education resource material aimed at
> parents.  From our review we will make recommendations as to the best
> parent education resources to either acquire or develop.
>
> If you have any suggestions on exciting new parent education resources
> that
> have been developed and may be appropriate,  research on best practises,
> or
> suggestions for people we should be talking to,  it would be great to hear
> from you.
