A free series of 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 5 interactive classes for parents and children (ages 6-12) that focuses on developing English vocabulary and literacy skills through strategic and fun story reading. The program's goal 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. Each week, a book is featured, and the families discuss the book's theme 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 while attending school. The curriculum is also designed to develop participants' second language skills and literacy using books, flashcards, and direct instruction.
English for Families is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
