This article discusses effective family literacy programs for immigrant children and provides potential solutions. According to the Dictionary of Slovenian Standard Language, literacy refers to the ability to read and write, while family literacy involves activities that bring together relatives across generations. It includes any practices in which family members use their reading, writing, or arithmetic skills and the broader culture surrounding literacy. Immigrants, particularly immigrant children, face significant challenges as they need to be literate not only in their native language but also in the language of their new community. This dual necessity requires them to adapt and learn to read and write in a new language to thrive in an unfamiliar environment. The article summarises findings from various authors regarding the role of parents in the development of family literacy, highlights the importance of family literacy programmes, and emphasises the inclusion of immigrant children in the educational system. It also provides examples of good practices from Slovenia and other countries.
