Adult Literacy and Learning in Family Literacy Programs

Parents come to Family Literacy programs for a variety of reasons. As Family Literacy Coordinators and Facilitators, we want to ensure our programs are welcoming places for parents as learners – to build their confidence as their child’s first teacher and to enhance their own foundational skills and practices.
In this workshop participants will:

• Understand how Family Literacy programs provide Adult Foundational Learning opportunities
• Learn how to engage parents by using adult learning strategies in their Family Literacy program
