FAMILY LITERACY

The Family Literacy Project provides instructional services to parents and children to enhance their basic reading, math, writing or language skills together and seperately.  Participation by the whole family increases the benfits of the instruction.  The Literacy Project partners with Chester, Sparta, Red Bud and Steeleville Public Libraries to provide learning opportunities in a fun environment.  Opportunities for parents and children together are offered in the way of Family Fun NIghts, and Story Times.  Special programming for adolescence and Parenting Workshops are also offered.
