Family Literacy focuses on parents, grandparents and other family members to improve the reading and writing skills of the whole family. By reading to children and engaging in fun literacy activities regularly, adults actively keep their own skills sharp while helping children improve their skills. Without adult support and a strong foundation at home, a child is less likely to be successful and engaged in school.
