Family Literacy is an education program that integrates instruction for undereducated adults and their children.  Its purposes are to:

• Break the cycle of low literacy in families

• Increase the literacy skills of adults

• Provide quality learning opportunities for the children of participating adults

• Assist parents in their role as their child's first teacher

• Increase economic self-sufficiency for adults

These purposes are addressed by creating a program designed around four components:

• Adult Literacy

• Early Childhood Education

• Parent Education

• Parent-Child Interaction
