A Proposal to Implement Family Literacy Centers

in Underserved Communities

by Dr. Edward Green,

Manager, Family Literacy Centers, inc.

FLC, Inc. helps communities establish Family Literacy Centers by offering easy-to-use materials and methods.  We also offer follow-up training to directors and center workers, a donation of startup reading and training materials, and help with internet record-keeping support.  Our main goals are to 1) focus on internalizing literacy in the family context; 2) emphasize parental involvement and commitment in helping identify children who need help in reading; 3) encourage those who can read to read more, (Mark Twain once said: "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."); 4) utilize the natural volunteers of the home — parents, grandparents, and siblings; 5) explain effective and easy-to-use assessment measures; and 6) use community resources as a means to help families establish the home as a true learning center.

Does your child have dyslexia, ADHD, or another learning disablity? We are offering a free Comprehensive Reading Examination to assess your child before we can tell you if our on-line tutoring program will help. Our main focus will be reading, comprehension, and fluency. If you would like to set up a time for that free evaluation, please contact me. The exam will take anywhere from 15-45 minutes, depending on how the student performs. If we determine our program can help your child, the price will be $25-30.00 for a 30-minute session with a certified tutor, plus the cost of supplies.
