Family Literacy
The Huntingdon County Family literacy program focuses on the literacy needs of all members of the family while promoting parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The program integrates early childhood education and adult education in a unified program. We support parents in developing basic skills that are necessary to participate fully in the education of their children, find and keep family-sustaining employment, or obtain a high school equivalency credential. We work with parents to develop the language and literacy skills needed to support their children’s educational goals, and children gain the foundational skills needed to succeed in school.
The Family Literacy Program recognizes parents as the first and most important teachers of their children. The program includes four components: adult literacy, early childhood education, parent literacy education and intergenerational literacy activities. The program incorporates lessons in reading, writing and speaking English, nutrition, healthy living, digital literacy, and workplace skills. Adults develop the language and literacy skills needed to support their children’s educational goals, and children gain the foundational skills needed to succeed in school. Parents and children work together to improve their literacy skills and reach their educational goals.
