Classes bring parents together with specially trained teachers to read and talk about the images and ideas conveyed in children's stories. After these classes, parents are prepared to read the books to their children and discuss the issues raised.
Parents become better role models and children become better readers.
Parents are then enabled to make life changes with more certainty. Their children, as studies have shown, become better students. Improved listening and speaking skills, as well as reading skills, enables parents to relate better to their children and, ultimately, bring families closer together. Partner Agencies Motheread's effectiveness is due in part to its partnership with organizations already skilled in delivering services to parents and children. Partner agencies provide instructors, class sites, and recruitment of parents.
