CAREGIVERS
Are you a…
- Parent, grandparent, relative, or caregiver of an elementary or middle school child
- Member of a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO/PTA)
- Community leader looking to support literacy in your community
- School Board Member
As an advocate for your child, you want the best education possible because you know our kids are our future leaders.
It takes all of us– teachers, administrators, outside literacy consultants, and involved caregivers to provide our kids with the education they deserve.
When you look back at your calendar for the past year you have:
- Donated money to teacher appreciation gifts
- Volunteered to chaperone field trips
- Sent out the newsletter/email to keep other parents informed
- Set up tables for the next school event
- Stayed late to breakdown bleachers or help clean up after a school activity
There are days when it feels like you’re always at the school, giving freely of your time to make sure your child’s school has everything needed for kids to thrive.
Studies continue to prove that the more a family or community is involved in their youth — the better their results.
Outcomes include:
- Happier kids who have varied interests.
- More confident and eager students who want to participate in class discussions.
- Kids who are critical thinkers and independent problem solvers.
- Students who are more creative and are able to focus on projects they care about.
- Kids who have better grades across content areas
- Students who are reading and writing at or above grade level
- Kids who are college and career ready
Education has changed from when we were in school yet somehow teaching methods have stayed the same. While this is no fault of our own, it’s time to teach our kids using proven methods that support today’s learner.
You wouldn’t want a surgeon operating on your child using techniques from 30 years ago, right?
The same holds true in your child’s education.
At Literacy Partners, we teach teachers how to teach — for today’s learners.
What they’re saying…
It has been a true pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and professional staff development team. They are extremely skilled at connecting with their audience, inspiring them to try new strategies and to reflect on their instructional practice.
Lisa Saldivar, Former Principal, 7th Street Elementary School, LAUSD
Dahlia and her team are diligent and passionate, and we appreciate how they pushed us to revamp our instructional practices and create locations where students work their hardest. As a Title One School with 100% Free and Reduced Lunch and over 50% ELL’s, they helped us excel academically and now students are college-bound with amazing foundations.”
