In the Family Literacy program, you will learn:
- How to teach reading and writing to your children at home
- How to complete homework with your child
- How to speak to your child's teachers and doctors
You will bring your 0-8-year-old child(ren) to class with you. Part of the time will be spent working with your family, and part of the time will be spent working with a certified instructor while your children work on literacy activities with trained paraprofessionals.
The class focuses on the four core components of family literacy:
- Parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency
- Age-appropriate education for children
- Training for parents regarding how to be the primary teacher and full partners in the education of their children
- Interactive literacy activities between parents and children.
Appropriate GED, pre-GED, GED in Spanish, ESL, and Workforce Readiness skills are also embedded into the class.
