Family Literacy
Family Literacy is committed to helping families develop their literacy and job-training skills. The program addresses the educational needs of the whole family by supporting early childhood education and preparing adults for the working world. Early childhood and adult education are integrated through the involvement of parents wishing to improve their literacy skills and in the education of their young children.
Family Literacy creates a home / school / community partnership that helps parents and children succeed in both school and life.
Family Literacy may be for you…
- If you have at least one parent willing to participate in adult basic education or GED preparation
- Live in or around Huntingdon or Mt. Union
- And have at least one child from birth to third grade
Family Literacy recognizes parents as the first and most important teachers of their children. Goals of the program include:
- helping parents become full partners in their child’s education
- assisting children to reach their full potential as learners
- providing literacy instruction and job training skills for parents
Parents and children work together in “learning teams” to improve their literacy skills and reach their educational goals. Activities emphasize language and intellectual growth, physical development, and social and emotional development. Parents are encouraged to participate in daily reading activities with their children and assist them with homework.
