How It Works

Family Literacy is integrated right into the classroom. There is a bookshelf with a variety of children’s books as you walk in the door. The local literacy committee organizes and runs its family literacy evenings once a week in the classroom. Learners are familiar and comfortable with the concept of family literacy and are keen to participate.
