Family Literacy Program
The FL program addresses literacy as a family issue that has definite economic ties. Lack of reading, writing or mathematical comprehension negatively impacts earning potential and ultimately results in poverty for an entire family. The Family Literacy Program incorporates adult basic education with early childhood education, parent training and support, and parent/child interaction activities so that barriers to economic self-sufficiency are decreased and literacy levels and parenting skills are increased. The end result is a stronger, economically self-sufficient family. When barriers to success, such as low literacy skills, are removed, individuals are better prepared to be productive citizens and in turn the communities they live in become stronger.
Childcare is provided for on-site for children ages six and under while participants are in class. ROW will also provide participants with one bus ticket per class.
