Family Literacy Workshops – All year round
This program is a great initiative for families to learn how to give their child a good start to literacy before they start school. Here families will learn how to read to their child and receive useful tips on how to make this a fun experience.

This program not only helps your first and second grade children learn to love reading, but they can learn basic literacy skills working through a program with a teen mentor. A great initiative for both the young child and the teenager.
