Literacy Legacy

Description:

We suggest and encourage reading – that is our suggested reading. The Furthering Fathering Program,
Literacy Legacy is designed to foster reading as a normal and multi-generational activity. Book clubs,
creative writing, public speaking and online reading guest reader workshops serve as the backdrop for
like-minded dads to build communities based in literacy. When a dad reads to his child, literacy is
established as important. When a dad listens to his child read aloud, vocabulary improves and the
courage to speak publicly is sparked. The space where literacy is embraced by families become an
empowerment zone
