Arabic Early Literacy Program

Arabic Translation

The program is offered throughout the year at various school and community sites and is designed to help parents prepare their young children for future success in school. Children must be accompanied by a parent or extended family member.

The two-hour sessions are taught in the home language by trained, native-speaking instructors who provide information, demonstration, resources, literacy support, and an opportunity for participants to practice activities in class. The program offers a safe and friendly environment where parents can discuss their concerns, ask questions, and share their valuable experiences.

Some important topics covered in these sessions include:

• brain development
• the role of music, culture, and language in learning
• the importance of reading with children
• positive discipline and communication
• stages of development
• health and nutrition.
