Program Description
Event Details
Families for Literacy is a free program designed to break the cycle of intergenerational low-literacy. Experts teach parents and caregivers with preschool children the skills they need to be their children's first and most important teacher. Families for Literacy also provides age-appropriate books to help families build home libraries.
A qualifying family must have at least one child younger than five years of age and one parent, grandparent or caregiver who qualifies for our adult literacy services (speaks English and reads at or below the eighth grade level). Older siblings may attend program too. The families that participate in FFL fill out an application at the first meeting.
