It's unfortunate that they've mischaracterized family literacy as "child-focused with parent element." Family literacy programs are the original "two-gen" approach, although this hasn't been adequately recognized by most proponents of the two-gen approach. In addition, most two-gen programs tend to focus on adults who already have a secondary degree.
