About the Project

Little Chico Creek Elementary School has over 130 students who receive reading intervention help. Many of these students come from low income homes or are second language learners. It has become evident that many parents and families of these children do not have the knowledge, skills or resources to help support their children’s reading growth. The goal of this grant is to provide training, materials and opportunity for the parents and children to read together. When families read and discuss literature, it instills a love of reading in their children. By offering training sessions throughout the year the school can develop partnerships with the parents/families as they work together to help their students become successful readers and lifelong learners.
