Literacy - Head Start
Make
reading a family event!
The
Literacy Center of West
Michigan offers complimentary
tutoring, workshops and
events designed to assist
parents and caregivers
in becoming better readers
for themselves as well as their families.
Study
after study shows that
families who read together
can help children significantly
boost their vocabulary
and school performance. By
the age of four, a child
of a low literate parent
will have heard 32
million fewer words than
a child of a literate parent.
If a member of your family
needs help reading, we
can help.
