Primer Día
Hoy is the first day of our family literacy pilot program in coordination with LPS. Blog readers are probably familiar with our family literacy program with UNL at Everett Elementary School, but this is a little different. Tonight’s class is part of a pilot project from LPS in coordination with all of the ethnic centers in town whereby 10 families, parents and children, at each cultural center will receive basic computer instruction and family literacy. The idea is similar to our program at Everett, with the goals being increasing computer skills for the parents and family literacy activities for the students. There is a wealth of research out there that alludes to these two components as essential for academic success. So hopefully the pilot program goes well and LPS can find a grant to continue it throughout the school year. We will certainly try to do our part.
