Recording Log
RFHF participants commit to providing early literacy education activities to 15 families.  Recording Logs track progress towards meeting that commitment, and will be used by NPC Research in the evaluation of RFHF.  Children's library staff submit these Recording Logs, while the Healthy Start family support workers Recording Logs have been folded into their well established reporting process.
 
Download, complete, and email the completed Recording Log to Katie Anderson on the first Friday of every month until June 2011.

What is the purpose of this form?
