2010 Legacies Now PALS
A PALS workshop in Hartley Bay

PALS helps family members and caregivers support their preschool- or kindergarten-aged children’s early literacy development. PALS responds to cultural and linguistic needs of the participating families and aims to provide a positive transition from home and other early care settings, to school.

PALS was co-developed by Dr. Jim Anderson, a professor at the University of British Columbia, and Fiona Morrison, director of family literacy and early learning for 2010 Legacies Now. Developed in 1999, PALS began in two schools in Langley and two in Vancouver. PALS is currently active in 21 school districts and more than 220 sites throughout BC.
