education, and parenting education into a unified family literacy
program. This program is implemented through cooperative
activities that build on high-quality existing community resources
to create a new range of educational services for most-in-need
migratory agricultural or fishing families; promote the academic
achievement of migratory children and adults; assist migratory
children and adults from low-income families in achieving
challenging State content standards and challenging State student
achievement standards; and use instructional programs based on
scientifically based reading research on preventing and overcoming
reading difficulties for children and adults. The application
