ABOUT

Raise To Serve recognizes the vital role that literacy plays in family development and is committed to equipping families with the skills and resources they need to foster a culture of reading and learning in their homes. As part of our ongoing efforts to support families and promote literacy, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting workshops designed to teach essential literacy skills and strategies for family development.

These workshops will be interactive and engaging, providing participants with practical tools and techniques they can implement in their daily lives. Here's how Raise to Serve's workshops will empower families to enhance literacy and strengthen family bonds:

1. Literacy Skills Development: Our workshops will focus on teaching fundamental literacy skills, such as reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking. Participants will learn effective strategies for improving reading fluency and comprehension, enabling them to engage more deeply with texts and extract meaning from what they read.

​

2.  Promoting a Love of Reading: We believe that instilling a love of reading is essential for fostering lifelong learning and personal growth. Through our workshops, we will share strategies for cultivating a positive reading environment at home, including tips for selecting age-appropriate books, creating cozy reading nooks, and incorporating reading into daily routines.

​

​

3.  Family Engagement: Reading together as a family not only promotes literacy but also strengthens family bonds and communication. Our workshops will emphasize the importance of family engagement in literacy activities and provide practical ideas for incorporating reading into family time. From shared reading sessions to family book clubs, participants will learn how to make reading a fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family.

​

4.  Community Support: Raise to Serve understands that supporting families in their literacy journey requires collaboration and community engagement. Our workshops will connect families with local resources, such as libraries, literacy programs, and community events, where they can access additional support and enrichment opportunities.

​

​

5.  Empowerment and Advocacy: Beyond teaching literacy skills, our workshops will empower families to advocate for literacy education and support initiatives that promote literacy in their communities. Participants will learn how to become effective advocates for literacy, whether by participating in literacy awareness campaigns, supporting local literacy organizations, or advocating for literacy-related policies and funding.

​

By providing families with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to promote literacy and family development, Rise to Serve's workshops will empower families to create a nurturing and supportive environment where every member can thrive. Together, we can build stronger families, stronger communities, and a brighter future for all.
