Family Literacy

The ability to read has been proven to be the most important factor to contribute to a child's success in school and life.  The class is for all parents whether they are English speakers, limited or non-English speaks or readers.  All parents, regardless of your own reading skills, can help your child be a better reader.

Learn how your child learns and what clues to look for at home, in the classroom, and in homework assignments.  Once you know how your child leans, you can help him/her to be more successful in school and life.
