What is the Latino Family Literacy Project (LFLP)?
Children who begin kindergarten behind their peers in literacy and reading skills often have a tough time catching up. Early literacy skills have been shown to predict reading ability throughout school, the likelihood of graduating high school, attending college, and future career opportunities. Reading to children daily has been documented as a contributing factor to long-term literacy and school performance.
Parents and children enrolled in the program will attend ten weekly 90-minute sessions. Parents will learn English and Spanish vocabulary for such things as numbers, letters, colors, singing, and rhyming that they can share with their children. Bilingual books - Spanish and English - are introduced weekly, and parents take them home to read to their children and have them as part of their home libraries. Parents are provided information based on Preschool Standards to make reading and vocabulary fun for both the parent and the preschooler. Sessions will be conducted by program headmaster Eddie Rivera and Martha Diechler, who has prior experience with LFLP. Sessions are for 20 families.
The session schedule is listed below. |
Thanks to a generous grant from the San Diego Foundation, in partnership with Dr. Seuss Foundation, BASIC will expand its Cradle to Graduation (C2G) educational programming to include early literacy education through the Latino Family Literacy Project (LFLP).
