Literacy Strategies for Families Through COVID 19 and Beyond
Are you hoping for some support and advice about reading together at home? Tell us how we can help.

Literacy Strategies for Families facilitates partnerships between families and schools by creating and supporting school teams that include school staff and families who are interested in improving outcomes for students in literacy. 

We offer these school teams a non-competitive grant to facilitate the implementation of the team action plan.

Our support will be focused on strategies that are appropriate for all families whose children attend the school, including both students who receive general education support and those identified for special education supports. The plans will be flexible and adaptable to best support culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse families and learners of all ability levels. 

To receive support in your school or district,
contact Debbie Esposito, Literacy Coordinator,
by email at [email protected]
