Family Literacy
The PATHS family literacy component is designed to provide and enhance educational opportunities for family members to learn together. Family literacy emphasizes parent and child together activities, which promote learning and improve the quality of relationships between parent and child. A major part of the PATHS family literacy component is designed to foster the love of reading in the family. It is our desire to motivate both parents and children to become life-long learners.
