Want to improve your family's reading skills? This program (which includes a healthy dinner) features a literacy specialist who will work with children and their caregivers. Reading together and working on creative literacy-based projects will build confidence for parents. This year, we expanded this program to include 4th to 6th graders. Children get a positive model of literacy and the program fosters parent-child bonding while helping develop parenting skills. Arts & crafts, skits, cooking and other projects are part of our ten-week sessions that meet year-round. We will also provide once a month trips (weekends) where families will visit various educational and cultural institutions. Funded by the Brooke Jackman Foundation.
