Family Involvement Program Services
The family is instrumental in developing within each child a love for books and the ability to read. Page Ahead works with partner sites to involve parents and caregivers in the reading activities of their children. Based on research, best practices, and a survey of its partner sites, Page Ahead is helping parents become active participants in their child's literacy development.
- In the Families Read Workshops, parents learn to choose what, when, and how to read to their children in order to maximize learning and develop their child's literacy skills. Parents receive literary resources and a free children's book.
- In the Read to Me workshop, parents are taught to make use of television's potential as a teaching partner. Families learn to integrate activities and reading with KCTS public television programs. Parents choose chlidren's books to take home.
- Pack to School is a pakcet provided to parents of children who are about to begin school. The packet includes activities that chlidren will encounter in kindergarten and makes those formal learning experiences familiar and comfortable.
- Story Time Reader program provides preschool and kindergarten classes with ongoing story times that include songs, finger puppets, themes, and engaging activities.
