Dr. Rosemary Chance
BONJOUR!

FAMILY LITERACY #1
At the heart is the
improvement of
reading and writing
skills for children &

FAMILY LITERACY #2
“The home is the
child’s first school, the
parent is the child’s first
teacher, and reading is
the child’s first subject.”
FAMILY LITERACY #3
Child-parent
relationships are
essential to the
development of a
child’s literacy ability.
