This interactive parent/child literacy program helps families with children up to 5 years old. It assists parents in preparing their children to enter kindergarten ready to read. National research has shown that many children lack the reading skills needed to succeed in Kindergarten. This problem is especially prominent among children of Spanish-speaking and/or bi-lingual parents.

Leamos Juntos addresses this critical issue in Lucas County by providing Latino parents with the tools and skills they need to help their children learn to read in English and Spanish.

The Leamos Juntos program includes parent-only sessions, in which parents learn how to read to their children and achieve learning milestones including comprehension and word recognition. While the parents learn, so do the children. Children learn the art of listening to adults read, literacy skills and interacting appropriately. Program trainers make home visits and guide families through interactive parent-child sessions.
