Our Early Readers' Book Club is designed to inspire a love of reading in our preschool children and strengthen the literacy skills of their English-learning mothers. Each month, twelve adult volunteers ("Literacy Coaches") work in teams of three to lead a warm-up activity, read the month's storybook selection aloud to children and parents, and then lead a fun craft activity based on the book. All activities are conducted in English in order to give our clientele practice with the language. Groups are encouraged to participate, and teens can participate with an accompanying adult. ***

About Families Forward Learning Center
Location:
980 North Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103, US
Mission Statement
Families Forward Learning Center prepares families isolated by poverty, lack of education and inadequate social support to succeed in school and in life by increasing the skills and education of both mother and child.
Description
Families Forward is built on two guiding principles: in order for significant, long-term change to occur within an at-risk family, you must reach both parent and child and educate them together; and, the most critical time to reach a family is when children are proven to be most vulnerable and impressionable, between birth and 5 years-old.
Our clientele are English-learning, low-income mothers in the Pasadena community. They take intensive literacy and parenting skills courses onsite, gaining critical skills in English and learning to be their child's most important teacher. Simultaneously, their children are also on site, playing, learning, and thriving in our early childhood program (ages six weeks to five years).
Our services prepare children for kindergarten and empower mothers to help their children succeed in school and in life.
