A free series of in-person interactive classes for parents and children that focuses on developing English vocabulary and literacy skills through strategic and fun story reading
English for Families is a series of five in-person interactive classes for parents and children (ages 6-11) that focuses on developing English vocabulary and literacy skills through strategic and fun story reading. The goal of the program is to develop the literacy skills of the whole family with the help of English teachers, laying a path to success at work and school. Each week focuses on a different learning objective and builds upon the lesson from the week before. During each week, a book is featured, and the families discuss the theme of the book while also focusing on learning vocabulary, comprehension, and additional literacy skills. The classes provide parents with effective strategies to address challenges their children may face in attending school. The curriculum is also designed to develop participants’ second language skills and literacy using books, flashcards, and direct instruction. Registration is for five sessions, once a week for five weeks.
