Family Literacy

Family literacy programs focus on parents as the means to improve the reading and writing skills of all family members. By reading to children and engaging in fun literacy activities, parents are actively keeping their own skills sharp while at the same time strengthening the relationship between the family which, in turn, encourages lifelong learning.

There are many ways to strengthen your family’s literacy skills—all it takes is practicing for 15 minutes every day by reading, writing, playing a game, following a recipe or even singing a song.
