According to Napalan, “It is a great accomplishment for our students to participate in this community literacy program. We have several students who are now parents and this program is a terrific way to equip them on how to encourage their children to read. We also have students who have siblings and they also provided support for our working parents. “
Motheread offers classes for both adults and children. In adult classes, participants learn to be story readers, writers, and tellers in a group structure that supports their own sense of worth and ability.
These classes are appropriate for all adults, regardless of reading ability or prior educational experience.
By teaching the “why” of reading rather than just emphasizing the “how,” classes encourage parents to be reading role models for their children.
For children, story exploring provides a structured environment for learning reading, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Motheread Inc. is a nationally acclaimed private, non-profit organization that combines the teaching of literacy skills with child development and family empowerment issues.
Parents and children learn to use the power of language to discover more about themselves, their families, and their communities.
Saipan Southern High School would like to thank Jesse Tudela, Viola Deleon Guerrero, Bryan Manabat and the NMI Council for the Humanities for making this program available for SSHS students.
