| Content Review Boards |
All parent and afterschool resources are reviewed by a minimum of two educators who have expertise in family literacy or in teaching in an afterschool program. Reviewers work collaboratively with authors and ReadWriteThink editors to help make sure the materials not only reflect best practice but also will work in out-of school settings.
