A Family Reading Program is being sponsored by the Literacy Council for parents of Headstart students.
It is an outreach program designed to encourage students and parents to read at home. Books are sent home to be read by the parents and students together.
“The program provides students access to additional books and encourages them to go to the library,” said Jan Underkofler, chair-elect of the Literacy Council.
The group meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. at the Headstart facility at 701 Robison Courts.
