Five Oleai Head Start parents completed a Motheread/Fatheread Story Sharing Course where they were introduced to exciting children’s literature and taught how to make reading with their children more thrilling.
The five mothers attended the eight weekly classes facilitated by Bertha Leon Guerrero to learn how to motivate their young children to be interested in reading as well as sharing quality learning time with their children.
“This program is really important to me,” said participant Lovely Kapileo. “It really helped me see how I can help my kids by the way I read to them and by what I read.”
Motheread/Fatheread® is a free parent literacy program available in the CNMI for any person interested in learning how to read better with their children.
It is sponsored in part by the CNMI Council for the Humanities and in part by donations of generous donors.
For more information on attending a Motheread/Fatheread Course or in donating to help improve the literacy of CNMI families, call program coordinator Mary Binauea at 235-7322 (Joeten Kiyu Library) or the NMI Humanities Council at 235-4785.
