Title: Motheread/Fatheread CNMI Family Literacy Classes
Narrative:

The Motheread/Fatheread program is a nationally-acclaimed family literacy program that combines the teaching of literacy skills with child development and family empowerment challenges.  The program is designed to provide parents with the skills necessary to build their children’s reading and critical thinking skills. The training uses books from the permanent Motheread collection housed at the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library and includes discussion questions and activities to foster creative thinking and problem solving skills.  The Council established the Motheread Program in the Commonwealth in 1998 and has administered the program over the past twelve years in partnership with the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library and the CNMI Public School System. Family Literacy classes include an Adult Course and a Children's Story Exploring class.

Skills acquired during the course cycle will enable parents to effectively use the power of stories and literature to:

  • Improve their children’s academic skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, comprehension and critical thinking.
  • Increase children’s interest in asking questions.
  • Create an early positive experience with books.
  • Strengthen family bonds, communication and relationships.
  • Help parents value and establish reading as a prime activity.
  • Enhance parents’ own reading skills.
  • Increase parents’ patience with their children.
  • Help parents become reading role models for their children.
The Motheread/Fatheread CNMI Program conducts outreach  after-school family literacy classes to the CNMI Public Schools on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
