The Adult Education
segment of the Family Literacy model seeks to provide parent literacy
training that leads to economic self-sufficiency. The parent's attitude
about learning will become the child's. Enhanced reading, math, and
language skills will lead parents to set goals for both educational
and personal achievement. For more information about family-friendly
